Work at Home Phone Jobs That Allow Background Noise

by

One of the more common work at home questions I see asked on different forums I go to is, “What phone jobs are OK with background noise?”

If you've been looking into working from home for any length of time, then you know that phone jobs are some of the most popular options out there and that almost all of those companies do not allow any background noise at all.

And of course if you're a parent with children at home, it can be almost impossible to guarantee there won't be any noise in the background while you work.

Do Such Jobs Exist?

Actually, yes.

There are a handful of companies out there you can do phone work from home for that do not mind background noise. But most jobs like this I've seen involve doing phone mystery shopping.

This kind of work involves calling businesses pretending to be interested in their products or services so you can gather information to send to the company you're doing the calling for.

Background noise is actually encouraged with phone mystery shopping because it's very important that you sound like a potential customer who might be at home with dogs barking, kids screaming, etc.

Your Options

Here are the handful of  companies I am aware of that you could work for and not worry about background noise. Keep in mind that not all of these companies are hiring right now:

Also, I've noticed that many general mystery shopping companies will have the occasional phone job even if they primarily offer in-store shops, so it's not a bad idea to keep an eye on those.

Working a Phone Job Around Kids

Believe it or not, many people are able to work for companies that don't allow background noise with their kids around.

They just get creative and find ways to make it work. I actually received an email from someone a month or so ago claiming that she didn't see what the big deal was about no background noise because she has kids and works a phone job from home with no issues at all.

So how can you do it?

I did some digging around to find out exactly how some people make it work and wrote a post with the tips others had, so I would recommend reading through that if you really want a customer service/sales type phone job from home and you do have small children around.

Keep a Non-Phone Job on the Backburner

Some of the phone mystery shopping work can just be considered supplemental income, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep a non-phone job on the backburner just in case work dries up and you need something else to fall back on.

Popular non-phone options include writing, transcription, online tutoring, and search engine evaluation among other things. You can also check through my big list of back-up work from home eggs here.

  1. I would like to add Ibotta to this list. Its an all email based system so no phone calls and its remote. However, its currently based in Denver Colorado downtown and you are required to attend a 4 day in house training at their office. Tge pay is 12 an hour and your capped at 28-30 hours max unless its a holiday season or promotional time and its at those time they tend to handout overtime like candy. I worked with them for a tear after i had my daughter who was a preemie and I managed well with 4 kids total. You are required to hit specific time goals but they have a mentor/supervisor that helps you learn to hit those goals and if you have issues doing that they still have a last resort trainings. They also always have office space available for you to come in if you prefer or to have more training so you can shadow someone.

    • They are legit to the best of my knowledge. I have researched each company to confirm they are actual businesses, and I have found feedback from workers claiming to have been paid. Still, I always encourage readers to do their own research in addition to the research I’ve done. You can never be too careful.
