I'm barely able to stay conscious, thinking about your suspicions! In this day
and age, when telemarketers robotically call out to the unsuspecting, the idea
that one is going to devote the incredible amount of resources to spend time
monitoring your phone for loud noises (not that this is even possible!), is
mind boggling. What do they do when you fall asleep? Listen for the snores?
They must think that you are an incredibly valuable target for a selling
opportunity.

My odd problem with telemarketers calling immediately after making a loud
noise hasn't happened much, until these past few days. Early this afternoon I
came home after a long drive. I closed the front door firmly, and in less than
a minute the phone rang with a telemarketer on the other end.
Earlier this year I looked extensively online for any information about
this, and I learned that
many of our electronic phones, such as cordless, leave the microphone alive
when the phone is not in
use, what's known as "live mike" or "hot mike". I'm not certain if this is true
for all such phones, but it appears to be true for my AT&T cordless phone set.
I'll have to look into my older textbooks on telephony and see how our
mechanical telephones disconnected the earpiece and microphone when the handset
is in the cradle.
