Note
The present-tense form for he, she, it or any singular subject, and it always takes a direct object with no preposition: she ignores the noise. Today it implies awareness. The subject chooses not to listen, or pretends not to notice. The older meanings, failing to notice and simply not knowing, are obsolete, so someone who ignores a rule is understood to know it exists.
