7. Context
The context of the communication
interaction involves the setting, scene,
and expectations of the individuals
involved. A professional communication
context may involve business suits
(environmental cues) that directly or
indirectly influence expectations of
language and behavior among the
participants.

8. Interference or noise
This is anything that blocks or changes
the source’s intended meaning of the
message. For example, if you drove a
car to work or school, chances are you
were surrounded by noise. Car horns,
billboards, or perhaps the radio in your
car interrupted your thoughts, or your
conversation with a passenger.
Psychological noise is what happens
when your thoughts occupy your
attention while you are hearing, or
reading, a message. Stereotypes,
reputations, assumptions, and biases
are examples of psychological noise
which affect communication.
Interference can come from other
sources, too.
