Sorry, should have been more detailed.  It's a sort of background 
humming noise, almost like that if you placed the phone next to a high 
output electric device.  Didn't hear it with Grandstream phone so I 
thought it may be something I can change in Polycom.  Of course, it 
could also be that polycom is better phone, but more apt to pick up 
background noise that

It's only on zap calls.  I'm still playing with rxgain and txgain in 
hopes of resolving this.  Basically, the humming noise increase with volume.
