Explanation

Each noise type pairs with the interference it names.

Physiological noise matches fatigue, since bodily states like tiredness, hunger or headache disturb reception.

Physical noise matches bright lights, as external environmental disturbances such as glare or traffic horns intrude.

Psychological noise matches prejudice, because inner biases and preoccupations distort how a message is read.

Semantic noise matches words not understood, where jargon or unshared meanings break comprehension.

The four sort neatly into bodily, environmental, mental and meaning-based interference.
