Answer 1

There is nothing to worry about, some phones pick up radio stations sometimes, no one is listening to your conversation, if u have a maintenance plan with your local phone company u can call them. They usually install a radio suppressor that will get rid of the music in most cases. u can check the site below for more useful information about phone lines. Good luck.

Answer 2

all you need is an RIF filter from Radio Shack....no biggie!!!

Answer 3

If you are hearing an AM radio station (playing rock, Bach or whatever they pedal), it isn't anything to worry about. Modern products lack the necessary filtering to eliminate interference from strong signals (like a broadcast station). I assume that another phone connected to the same line does not pick up the music.

The fact that you can hear a broadcast station doesnt mean that the people at the radio station can hear you. Of course if this is a cordless phone, these can be listened to on a scanner if they are not spread-specrum or digital.
