This is due to microphone feedback. Look at this article for information on how to eliminate it in Windows: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_zdpcm/is_200108/ai_ziff10423

ok im technical support for comcast. This happens all the time. The easiest way to stop that is to uninstall yahoo toolbar or google toolbar. That'll fix it. Yeah i know it sounds weird, but try it.

You can find out easily if thats the problem.  \n\nStep 1. Shut off your computer completely \nStep 2. Unplug the cable from the router and plug it directly from your computer to the phone dsl jack in your wall.\n\nin other words unplug the router.  Don't uninstall the router as there is no need but unplug it and shut off the power to it.\n\nThen get on the Internet and try the phone.  If it still is making the sound we know for sure it's not your router.\n\nIf the sound is not there it's probably your router.

Hey there's nothing wrong with good old dial-up!  Try looking at this site:\nhttp://help.prodigy.net/help/network/prob/slowconnect.html\n\nI know it's a bit heavy for the normal internet user, but if you can identify the type of modem you've got, it should help to try to modify the initialization string as they suggest.  Always remember to make a note of what's in there first!

Your noise filter is not working properly on the phone cord

Yes.\n\nIn addition to the post below, sometimes you may have to unplug the modem, disable network adapter, follow the instructions in the answer below, then turn off the computer for a while.

Make sure that you're not running another program that's using any sound. That may be interfering.

If it is the Windows Firewall, go to Control Panel, and go to Windows Firewall.  You can turn it off there, but beware, don't keep it off for long.

keep logs of your ip changing. plug in your modem, log your ip, turn it off tfor 60 second (no less) do it again.\n\nyou might have configured your modem wrong.

If you leave the modem on while talking on the phone or using any other device that uses the phone line then yes. You will end up with computer noise or static on that line that does not have the filter.

You did not mention which area you have come from. What type of connection you are using. What computer do you own? and what environment you use internet in like some internet cafe or some office LAN etc.  I start with assuming that you have a standalone desktop computer and you connect to the internet through a Dial-up connection. First of all check you phone line, it must be a noise free line, you can check it by picking up the handset and dial a single digit from your keypad, listen carefully, there should be silence, no humb, no noise. If this is OK, check your modem is properly installed and is of a good make, some modems dont match to your ISP's hardware which result in slow speed and frequent disconnection. USR or Lucent Modems are the best.  On no. 3 comes the selection of service provider, select a good and esteemed ISP rather selecting a low-rate ISP.  If you have the facility of DSL in your area, just subscribe for it, it will increase your net speed manifold.

first open the sound properties from the control panel and make sure that none of the volume meters are all the way down.  if everything is hooked up right and you dont get sound you probably have a bad sound card.  try dialing up using a traditional modem and see if you get the annoying fax sound from your computer
