I have a small Panasonic cordless phone, and it was quiet as. It was behind
Nokia filter. Initially I replaced the filter with a dynalinc one, and it
got better. Once I got hold of Telecom splitter and installed it, everything
is back to nice sound.

So I agree that quite commonly it is the filter. I know of another chap, who
had exactly the same experience.

Oh, and I've tried different filters and filter brands as well.

Exchange the filter; I'd say it's almost certainly the problem, and it's
not going to hurt trying that before spending money chasing another
solution.
