Which of the following is an example of 'noise' as a barrier in the communication process?

A loud drill disturbing a phone call is noise. Noise means any interference that distorts or blocks the message between sender and receiver. The other choices either improve clarity or represent feedback, which closes the loop rather than disrupting the transmission.

  1. AA clearly worded email with a subject line
  2. BA loud construction drill during a telephone call that makes the words hard to hearCorrect
  3. CA written confirmation of a verbal order
  4. DA reply sent by the receiver to the sender

Explanation

Noise is any disturbance that distorts or interrupts the message in transit, such as physical sounds during a call. The clear email and written confirmation help communication, and a reply is feedback, which completes the cycle.
