I see quite a few adsl faults and cant Ive seen what you have mentioned. 
As mentioned usually its a filtering issue. If the customer can hear the 
data noise on the line this is often a symptom of  poor filtering . 
Things to check orientation of filter , digital foxtel, alarm plugged in 
, external bell etc .

note: even if the phone you are listening on has a filter  and you hear 
the noise it normally doesnt mean the filter is faulty but the noise is 
reflected off another piece of equipment in the house that is unfiltered
