The correct answer is Dyadic archetypes.

• There are five types of Noise in Communication-
  • physical noise
  • physiological noise
  • psychological noise
  • semantic noise
  • cultural noise
• Physical noise
  • It is the external and unnecessary sound that obstacle to effective communication.
  • It is also a communication disturbance created by the environment.
• Physiological Noise
  • It is a communication barrier created from the communicator’s physical condition.
  • Deafness and blindness are physical weakness or physiological noise that are barriers to listening.
• Psychological Noise
  • It is a communication barrier created from the communicator’s psychological factors for example values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours.
  • This type of noise interrupts our minds to concentrate on listening.
• Semantic Noise
  • It is a communication barrier created from the confusion over the meaning of words.
  • Semantic noise occurred because of different meanings of the message between the sender and receiver.
• Cultural Noise
  • It is a communication barrier created from the wrong explanation of another person’s behaviours.
  • It is created from the nonverbal communication cues for example posture, gesture, eye contact, space, touch, and dress-up.
• Selective perception is the tendency to either “under notice” or “over-focus on” stimuli that cause emotional discomfort or contradict prior beliefs.
• Information overload is also noise. Once capacity is surpassed, additional information becomes noise and results in a decrease in information processing and decision quality.
• Dyadic archetypes is NOT a communication barrier related to noise.
