    1. If you use an abbreviation the receiver doesn’t know or the phone autocorrects to something completely different than you meant, then semantic noise has interfered with the message transmission

      I relate to this because my keyboard does this all the time. When I want to get a message through really fast my phone often autocorrects to a different word. It makes the message I was trying to send not make sense at all. One autocorrect mistake can ruin the whole message. I also didn’t know this had a specific word to it so it’s very interesting learning about these different meanings.

    2. if a speaker sends a clear message, noise may interfere with a message being accurately received and decoded

      Noise is a huge part of communicating weather it’s good or bad. If the noise is good and it can be seen as bad even if the message is as clear as it can be. I think it’s often misunderstood especially when you’re in a big crowd. When there’s a big crowd everyone is talking over each other and the message never gets received correctly or the message will just never get to the other person
