Here are the various components of the communication process listed below:
1. An information source. Presumably a person who creates a message.
2. The message, which is both sent by the information source and received by the destination.
3. A transmitter. The mean with which the message is transmitted through.
4. The signal, which flows through a channel.
5. A carrier or channel.
6. Noise, in the form of secondary signals that obscure or confuse the signal carried.
7. A receiver.
8. A destination. Presumably a person who consumes and processes the message.
An example of the process of communication that includes all components would be as below:

As one of his student (the receivers), and because two of my classmates were side talking next to me (noise), I could not hear what Dr. Mishaal said, and asked him to repeat it (feedback).
