White noise during calls?

First time I used some triplefi headphones on a cell phone I was astounded bu how much noise is on a cell call. You just can't hear it on a little speaker on the handset.

 

Is it every time you ring anyone? Or only with a certain person, I mean the person could have a faulty Mic or something.

Ive never noticed it on mine.

 

The carriers intentionally add white noise because are people are so used to the old analog phones that pure silence sounds like a dropped call.

Good headphones will make this noise apparent.

You shouldn't hear it loudly from the phone earphone though. If you do, that's probably a problem.

 

Yea white noise is added sometimes to the network. AT&T in the DC area has it on their network, but AT&T in my area (N. IN) does not.

 

I found it kinda nice actually? It's subtle. You'd let this bother you that much? LOL, they aren't the only ones that have done something like this.

 

What I hear when I call back east an only be heard in-between speech, and I could barely hear it then.

 

I have an android (still) and i get some creepy white noise voice. Does your screen ever black out for a second and then come back? Does it happen always or for certain calls? Mines just one person!
