Answer 1

Answer:

cocktail party effect

Explanation:

This is the cocktail party effect and similar to its name the phenomenon usually occurs when you are able to focus your auditory attention to one stimulus and filter the rest. So for this example, the person can talk with his/her friend even when he/she can hear the cheer leader. They can also turn their attention to announcer when they call their name.
