Narrative:

We were cleared to land lax 25L with normal tower communications. After clearing runway 25L, holding short of runway 25R on tango, I noticed tower frequency unusually quiet with no observed traffic. I reported on 120.95 (tower frequency) holding short and no response was received. I then heard our callsign 'air carrier X' called three times but tower apparently could not hear our reply. A broken transmission was received 'air carrier X...cleared cross...' I read back the crossing clearance and visually checked for traffic with none observed. Normal communication was restored while crossing. Tower canceled takeoff clearance for another aircraft and ask air carrier X to call on landline.
