I'm not sure who thought it would actually do anything. Unfortunately,
since the noise was intermittent Telstra were relunctant to go looking
visually for a fault, and generally beat around the bush replacing things
that clearly weren't faulty. I must have had my sockets looked at about 10
times. Luckily, one technician did go searching (the noise hung around a
little longer) and found the fault. Problem solved.
