Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 11, further comprising:
extracting, via the at least one noise information node, noise information present on the communication path from the customer gateway to at least one of one or more end devices, the communication path utilizing a communication medium;
transmitting, via the at least one noise information node, the extracted noise information to a noise information repository;
retrieving, via the noise information repository, the extracted noise information associated with the communication path;
determining, via a noise profile generator, whether at least one noise characteristic of the extracted noise information matches with one or more noise profiles at the noise profile database, wherein each of the one or more noise profiles comprises at least one noise characteristic derived from noise information, wherein each of the one or more noise profiles is respectively associated with at least one noise source;
generating, via the noise profile generator, in response to determining that at least one noise characteristic of the extracted noise information does not match with the one or more noise profiles, a new noise profile based on the extracted noise information;
associating, at the noise profile database, at least one of the one or more end devices with the new noise profile; and
identifying, based on either the new noise profile or a matching noise profile of the one or more noise profiles, the at least one noise source on the communication path.
