I believe Steve U. has repeatedly commented on the need to have a very
stable pstn interface, no missed interrupts, no frame sleeps, etc, etc.
To me that translates into resolving well-discussed issues with the
tdm04b card, etc.

So, not likely you running into line noise, but rather missed interrupts,etc.
(I have had the same proble with the spandsp here.)
