 Blame this on the lawyers.  To avoid issues of liability, if the telephone
switch detects a pulse pattern that might plausably be interpreted as an
attempt to "dial" 911, then the phone company forwards your info on to the
911 call center.

But a dial-pulse needs to be an actual make-break of the loop, not just
"line noise".  Would outpulsing at, for example, 400Hz ever be considered
a legitimate signal?  (IIRC, dial-pulse rate was ~10Hz; are there "natural
phenomena that even approach that with any sort of regularity?)
And, why would the "signal" suddenly disappear and not be a regular happening?
I.e., why only one visit in 30 years and not once a month?

Once the 911 call center has become involved, then the police have to handle
it as if it were a request for emergency services.
