crackling and static noise on line

i have been having a problem with intermittent crackling and a static his on the line , which has been reported a couple of times and had 2 engineer visits , i reported about this 3 days ago and was told nothing wrong , i have made a phone call this morning and the static hiss and crackle was evident , a quiet line test with a corded phone to the main socket  also allowed me to hear the noise , could some one please look it this again
many thanks
chris

It usually means our suppliers diagnostic test can't complete due to a fault on the line or a issue with their systems.

Re: crackling and static noise on line

open reach engineer has just left , reports from him was that there was a problem with a line from the exchange to the cabinet that he has sorted , so hopefully that's an end to my problems for now

Re: crackling and static noise on line

lenny - did you get static on all calls? I seem to be plagued with static on outgoing calls but if someone calls me the line is clear as a bell.

Re: crackling and static noise on line

Huh! I get intermittent crackles on incoming calls, but can never find the problem when just listening to the line or using BT Quiet Line Test. I don't make outgoing calls on my landline.

Re: crackling and static noise on line

yes static noise when i made the calls but when someone phoned me it was a crackling noise,
i had to havve another engineer out for the same thing but he could not find a problem , but he went in the box outside and since then all seams to be ok

Re: crackling and static noise on line

Ta for the answers. Not sure what to do really as the BB is working fine and I don't really need the agro.
