Many of us consider a cell sound ringing in a public place to be an annoying disruption, but this study confirms that these irritant noises also have real-life impacts. Those impacts mainly consider students. Seemingly harmless cell sounds are not only a disturbance, but they have a real influence on learning. An experiment was held and students at the laboratory were tested on simple word recognition tasks, while different cell sounds were played. So the experiment results showed that decision making performance was pretty low. Study case shows that the cell sound is even more distractive when it contains a hidden meaning or personal relevance. That’s why it is strictly recommended for people to put their phone on vibration, simply replacing cell sounds.
