Glynco Bureau Of Prisons (BOP) Midterm Practice Test

Which of the following is an example of external noise in communication?

Inside the receiver's head Feedback from the sender Loud TV or radio Mood and attitude

Correct Answer:

Loud TV or radio

Explanation:

External noise is anything in the surroundings that disrupts the delivery or reception of a message. A loud TV or radio fits this perfectly because it introduces competing sounds in the environment, making it harder for the listener to hear and interpret what’s being said. The other options involve internal factors: thoughts or internal distractions in the listener’s mind, mood and attitude affecting perception, or feedback from the sender—which is information sent back to the listener, not a disruption. So the loud TV or radio is the clear example of external noise since it originates outside the listener and interferes with the communication channel.
