A similar thing happened to me recurringly about two years ago. Any time I
was establishing a connection over regular phone lines I got periodic bursts
of line noise, once every couple seconds. I eventually diagnosed the problem
as being caused by an electric fence generator that was right next to my phone
line. (It was a type that sends a current through the wire in pulses, rather
than continuously.)

The fence is gone, and I've had no similar problems since.
