Internal noise refers to mental distractions inside the listener’s head—thoughts, worries, fatigue, or boredom—that interfere with processing what’s being communicated. It’s about the mind’s own state getting in the way of attention and understanding, not sounds from outside, not feedback from a speaker, and not a hardware problem. Recognizing this helps you focus strategies on reducing those mental distractions, like pausing to refocus, clarifying goals, or taking breaks to reset attention.
