The recipient of the call typically hears random background noise when answering the phone. If the caller remains unaware, the recipient will sometimes overhear whatever is happening in the caller's vicinity. A pocket-dialed call can continue for many minutes, or until the recipient's voice mail system ends the call.
For this reason, so-called comfort noise needs to be generated to compensate for the lack of background noise. The ingress end must therefore signal the egress end that silence suppression is in effect. For best results, the level of comfort noise being generated on egress should match that of the background noise at the ingress end.
