Several possible reasons:

1) You are talking on the phone.

2) You accidentally left a phone off the hook.

3) There is a short circuit in your phone line.

4) Someone else is calling you at the same time.

5) There is a malfunction in the phone company equipment.

6) If you have a party line, the other party is using the phone.

If you hear a "fast busy" tone instead of the normal busy tone, that means there is an overload in the phone company's switching equipment or there is some other malfunction. Fast busy signals are also often heard after an intercept recording explaining a telephone problem.
