Communication Noise....

Disadvantages/Demerits always come with Advantages and Merits. Therefore, communication doesn’t have only affirmative points it also has negative side.  Negative side is nothing but communication Noise or to simplify it. What are the barriers/hurdles in process of communication or when we communicate. In any communication model, noise is interference with the decoding of messages sent over a channel by an encoder. few examples of noise:

Environmental noise - Noise that physically disrupts communication, for e.g. In clubs on dance floor its hardly any way of communication because club is fully equipped by enormous music.

Physiological-impairment noise - Physical maladies that prevent effective communication, for e.g. One has to send message through phone but the person on other end   suffering from weak capacity of listening .

Semantic noise - Different interpretations of the meanings of certain words. For e.g., the word "weed" can be interpreted as an undesirable plant in a yard, or as a euphemism for marijuana.



Syntactical noise - Mistakes in grammar can disrupt communication, For e.g.  erroneous grammar can make difficult to understand message. 

Organizational noise - Poorly structured communication can prevent the receiver from accurate interpretation. For e.g. unclear and badly stated directions can make the receiver even more lost.

Cultural noise - Stereotypical assumptions can cause misunderstandings, For e.g. like me praises allah when i yawn 

Psychological noise - Certain attitudes can also make communication difficult. For instance, great anger or sadness may cause someone to lose focus on the present moment. 


Above mentioned are the key ingredients to make communication noise free therefore the message can be conveyed on properly. and one can take care of such noises before communicating. as this above noises are natural but sometime noise or miscommunication happens by being egoistic and showing tantrums and attitudes.
