ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Johnson–Nyquist noise

Johnson–Nyquist noise is like a kind of buzzing sound. It's like when you rub your fingers on the side of a balloon to make it make noise. It happens when electricity flows, and it can make it harder for us to understand the signals that our equipment is sending and receiving. Johnson–Nyquist noise is something that electrical engineers try to avoid because it can cause problems.
