Auditory distraction is one of the sub symptoms under Reflex Distraction. Auditory information floods the brain with information sufficiently to cause other sensory and cognitive capabilities to falter.
Overall, there are three Root Causes for Distraction:
1: Reflex Distraction
2: Impulse Distraction
3: Life Style Distraction.
Brain chemistry as well as instinctive drives are also a factor in the intensity or biasness toward distraction or non-distraction.
