It may be a problem with the way the wiring is run for the extension.  The 
phone line may run parallel to a flourescent light, an electric power run, or 
a motor (furnace?).

The solution is to find and fix the induction problem, or re-run the phone 
line to the extension.  Try to have the phone line cross power lines at a 90 
degree angle where possible.
