Definition
干扰 (gānrǎo) means to disturb or disrupt, covering both people (e.g., disturbing rest) and physical signals (e.g., radio interference). It is broader and more neutral than 干涉 (gānshè), which implies meddling in others' affairs often with authority, and 扰乱 (rǎoluàn), which stresses causing disorder or chaos.
