What does noise refer to in communication?

  1. The physical sound only

  2. A disturbance in the communication channel

  3. Anything that compromises the original meaning of a message

  4. Nonverbal cues

The correct answer is: Anything that compromises the original meaning of a message

Noise in communication refers to anything that disrupts or interferes with the intended message being expressed. While option A may seem like a possible answer, it only refers to the physical aspect of noise and does not encompass other factors that can affect communication. Option B is not completely incorrect, but it only focuses on the communication channel rather than the message itself. Option D is also not completely incorrect as nonverbal cues can contribute to noise in communication, but it is not the only factor to consider. Overall, option C is the most accurate and comprehensive answer.
