Forgot to copy the group, might help someone someday.

It's possible for a digital set to have a bad buzz saw noise then in speakerphone if the shield can on the microphone becomes disconnected from the ground wire to the circuit board. The aluminum can is crimped to the small terminal board and picks up ground from the board trace under the crimp. The glue they applied over the solder joint prys open the crimp and RF gets into the amplifiers. Carefully remove all the glue from the board and the can makes contact again, noise stops.

It is generally just one phone, but the client blows it up to a general everything is broke ;-) If it really is on everything, make sure the ksu has a good ground. Troubleshoot where the noise is coming from. One thing at a time.

The loud static seems to come and go on nearly any analog connection.
Digital sets only get it when connected to analog lines (most sets are
digital, hence the initial report), but analog sets can get it at any time. On analog stations, sometimes you pick up and hear only static for several seconds, then it goes away and you get internal dial tone. Then the static
may return.  It doesn't seem to be isolated to any particular card,
station, or line.

While hearing the really bad static on a phone on an outside line, I listened to that line on a butt set, and it was clean. Only the internal user is hearing the static.

Any ideas?

Thanks...
