Noise in communication caught my attention because it really does divert my attention when someone is talking to me. It can be something as simple as shoes that squeak, jewelry that screams, “look at me,” a lawn mower outside the building, or clothes that beg for your attention to their detail. Noise is such an unconscious thing that plays a vital role in communication.
I remember many classes at SJSU when I was distracted from the lecture by noise. I would feel frustrated and annoyed because I wasn’t engaging in my class. Becoming aware of Noise and how it pertains to and interferes with communication is important, not only for the receiver, but also the sender.
Happy Friday:)

Touching on the idea of noise, I too get distracted from noise while in class. It is like you just start hearing the noise and nothing else. I can say the same for things that happen in my life. For example my boyfriend like to watch TV extremely loud. After a while it starts getting to me and I don't even hear the words on TV, I just hear noise. I guess it all depends on the person with how noise affects them.
