The type of voice service you have may require electrical power from your home and/or battery backup to operate during an outage. 1  Traditional landline service: Will typically function in a power outage. If your phone equipment plugs into an electrical outlet, that equipment may not work during a power outage. Consider keeping a simple âcordedâ phone handy for use during a power outage. Test it in advance.
Thankfully, clearing phone line noise on your landline isn't hard. As you might guess, the first step in clearing phone line noise is to pinpoint the culprit. Faulty house wiring, long cables or the phone line itself could be indirectly disrupting your conversations. Other culprits include the following: 1  Weather: Precipitation can leak into phone lines and cause disruptions. 2  Lightning, even at a distance, can damage the connection. 3  Electrical interference: Power lines, radio or television transmitters, transformers and other electronic devices may cause noise on the phone line.
