Could be a faulty Microfilter (you have got a microfilter on each phone right?  ;))
Home wiring, or a problem at the cabinet / exchange.

Yup check your filters on the phone lines.

Hi mccoll2u,
Do you hear any crackling or pops when using the phone or if you run a quiet line test by calling 17070 (option 2)?

What I would suggest would be to connect your phone to the test socket by itself and run the quiet line test once again. If there is still noise on the line then it would need to be reported to our support team as a home phone fault.

Certainly unusual behaviour. Either a crossed wire problem or possibly some em interferance somewhere on the line.
I would strongly reccomend giving our support team a call who could run a check on the line to see if anything pops up. I would do this myself but I am out of office until monday.

Sounds like your master socket is incorrectly wired, could be that an extension is wired to the input side of the master rather than the isolated side.
