Quick Answer
For search, voice, and "just tell me what to do".
Modern work is loud—often not in decibels, but in demands: constant notifications, repetitive tasks, fragmented focus, and operational clutter. “Noise” today is the friction and distraction that keeps people from doing their best, most meaningful work.
Key Takeaways:
- **Cognitive noise** – Too many decisions, too much context switching, constant interruptions.
- **Process noise** – Redundant approvals, manual data entry, inconsistent workflows.
- **Communication noise** – Endless status updates, unclear ownership, “just checking in” messages.
- **System noise** – Tools that don’t integrate, duplicated records, error-prone handoffs.
- Teams spend more time updating systems than serving customers.
