Not really.

I'm using a spa-3000 and have noticed the same thing. Some voices
trigger it, others don't. It hasn't happened often enough to cause
me to spend time on it. (I have the spa3000 configured so that 
incoming fxo calls go directly to the fxs port (not through *), so
in my case the dtmf-like bursts have to be internal spa issues.
Since the spa2000 and 3000 share a lot of the same code base, the
tones you're hearing are likely internal spa issues as well.)

I'd guess the above messages are simply damaged packets (eg, ethernet
collisions, broadband hits). Since there are multiple seconds between
most of those messages, I would doubt that you would actually notice
the hits in the audio.
