We have so much noise around us – blowing of horns, playing loud music etc. Have you ever wondered about the noises that we create that has nothing to do with the decibel level? These noises can be due to bad habits, the way we think, the way we walk and so on.
Noise due to bad habits – spitting, blowing nose in public, giggling …
Noise when we think – humming, tapping (e.g. desk), cracking fingers …
Noise when we walk – noisy shoes …
What about the noise that we create when we talk?
(1) We give unsolicited advice – that is noise.
(2) We interrupt others – that is noise.
(3) We talk without listening completely to what the other person is saying – that is noise.
(4) We pretend to know everything or at least something and try to boast of in front of a gathering – that is noise.
(5) We give descriptive account of events when we have been asked for a brief narration – that is noise.
(6) We bitch about others in their absence – that is noise.
In short, anything we talk about other than what we are asked for, what we know, what we should say contributes to noise.
