Telephone signal is more prone to EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) effects of Electrical energy flowing through the power cable. To avoid such EMI effects, telephone cable is laid little bit away (300 mm at least) from the power cable.

If the clearance is less than 300 mm you increase the chance of the power line shorting to the telephone cable. This would blow out telephone equipment and potentially kill anyone working on the telephone line.

What can cause loud hums in a telephone set?

The loud hum that you hear is probably a 60 Hz. hum. It is caused by induction from an adjacent power feeder. When electrical feeders lay parallel to each other, the electrical magnetic field caused by the current flowing in the power conductor induces a field in the other parallel telephone cable set. These types of cables should not be run together but run with separation of at least 50 mm between them. The proper installation when distance separation of the cables from one another can not be physically obtained is to cross the power cable and the telephone cable at a 90 degree angle until the separation can be obtained.
