While they may be on the same copper pair, Uverse internet (and TV)
and analog voice services are managed and billed separately by ATT.  I
suggest you call the service number on your analog phone bill and
start a ticket for your problem.  Make sure ATT properly tests the
line and ensure they can test to see if it's your equipment or wiring
or in their system.  Your interface box should allow them to isolate
your inside wiring and equipment from their line.  If you pay for
inside wiring service, then they can fix that if that's the source.
Based on your post, it sounds like it's their issue, not yours.  You
could unplug all handsets and plug them in one at a time to see if any
is the source of the noise.

They may have put your analog voice phone on a different copper pair
when Uverse was installed and is the source of the noise.
