noise

Examples of noise in the following topics:

• Noise and Interference

  • Noise and interference can block your audience's ability to receive your message.
  • Noise and interference block the sending or receiving of a message.
  • Noise and interference can be both external or internal.
  • They're going to boo me. " Internal noise can be psychological and semantic in nature, whereas external noise can be known as or include physical and physiological noise.
  • As for internal noise, fear is the enemy.

• Noise as a Barrier to Communication

  • The efficacy of communication is impacted by how much noise there is in the communication channel.
  • Distractions—i.e., noise—can disrupt the flow of information between any of these five stages.
  • These layers relate to a variety of types of noise that can interfere with communication.
  • Environmental noise is noise that physically disrupts communication, such as very loud speakers at a party or the sounds from a construction site next to a classroom.
  • Semantic noise refers to when a speaker and a listener have different interpretations of the meanings of certain words.

• Standing Waves in Other Objects

  • Most drums do not produce tones; they produce rhythmic "noise" (bursts of irregular waves).
  • Some of these instruments (cymbals, for example) produce simple noise-like sounds when struck.
  • Note: Although percussion specializes in "noise"-type sounds, even instruments like snare drums follow the basic physics rule of "bigger instrument makes longer wavelengths and lower sounds".
  • Like most drums, they don't have a particular pitch, but make more of a "noise"-type sound.

• The Don'ts of Using Visual Aids

  • Some "don'ts" of visual aids include inconsistent themes, small fonts, too much information, and distracting noises and animation.
  • Distracting Animation or NoisesAvoid distracting animation and noises.
  • These will take the focus of the audience away from your presentation and shift it toward the noise or animation instead.

• Introduction

  • Sounds -- ordinary, everyday "noises" -- come in every conceivable pitch and groups of pitches.
  • In fact, the essence of noise, "white noise", is basically every pitch at once, so that no particular pitch is heard.

• Music is Organized Sound Waves

  • These are the kinds of sound we often call "noise", when they're random and disorganized, but as soon as they are organized in time (rhythm), they begin to sound like music.
  • (When used as a scientific term, noise refers to continuous sounds that are random mixtures of different wavelengths, not shorter crashes and thuds. )
  • A random jumble of sound waves is heard as a noise.

• Radio Waves

  • FM radio is inherently less subject to noise from stray radio sources than AM radio because amplitudes of waves add noise.
  • Thus, an AM receiver would interpret noise added onto the amplitude of its carrier wave as part of the information.
  • Thus, since noise produces a variation in amplitude, it is easier to reject noise from FM.

• Operant Conditioning

  • In the Skinner Box experiment, there was a loud noise, which was removed when the rat pressed the lever.
  • Example stimuli may be loud noise, electric shock (rat), or a spanking (child).

• Sensory Adaptation

  • For example, if an animal hears a loud noise and experiences pain at the same time, it will startle more intensely the next time it hears a loud noise even if there is no pain.

• Work environments and people

  • Over the past 10,000 years, sunlight, fresh air and natural settings have greatly influenced human evolution; so it should come as no surprise that artificial settings – combined with industrial noise – adversely affect human productivity and performance.
  • At the headquarters of the West Bend Mutual Insurance Company in West Bend, Wisconsin, efficient workstation controls, which allow employees to alter temperature, airflow, lighting and noise based on their personal preferences, contributed to a 15% increase in claims processing per employee.
