Some of my phones are starting to crackle ... which causes data connections to generate more and more frequent errors. First, it was only one branch within the house ... any phone connected to that one outlet would crackle, hiss and generally not work acceptably. Then I had to check the line coming into the house (by disconnecting the modular jack in the external telco box) and now all the phones in the house have the crackle. I'm an Elec Eng and should know this stuff ... but all my checks of connections, wiring, show no visible problems. Hopefully someone with experience will know what to do. Thanks in advance.

The last time I had crackling on my phone circuits, the cause turned
out to be squirrels chewing on the line at the junction box whence the
feeder to my premises originates (on a pole in my backyard. Same
thing the time before that.
