spurious tones (talkoff)
LeftRight:
When one device picks up a false DTMF digit, it will be sent out and played back on the other end. I think, in your case, OBi device just simply play back the digit sent by the other party.
LeftRight:
Also notice that, in call status, there is a field that shows how many digits you received during a call. Next time when you hear the DTMF tone on the phone, you might go to:
Status --> Call Status --> DTMF digits received
If the other party does not press any digits, and you see it from call status, then, pretty much you can confirm that is a false digit picked up on the other end.

OK, it happened again today. This time I was talking to a different person than before, and it happened twice. Both times she said she didn't press anything. I checked the Obi's call status and it said "DTMF Digits Received" was 2. So it certainly thinks they came from the other party. However, I find it odd that this type of thing has never happened before and now it's happened several times over the last several weeks. I don't know enough about how the process works to argue whether not there is any way the Obi could be causing this.

It used to happen to me from time to time when I used MagicJack. I would hear a beep ( USUALLY when talking to someone female) and they never heard it.
I do hear it SOMETIMES with my OBi100, BUT many times now the party to whom I am speaking will hear a beep and I don't!! Makes one look like a 3 year old who has never used a phone before. WORSE YET is when it sometimes it thinks a 4 is pressed and you get the announcement from GV the call is being recorded. What fun that is trying to explain you did NOT press anything to record the call.
My one and only complaint about my Obi, BUT I think it is more of a GV problem with DTMF sensitivity...

This is a long standing Google Voice issue, even back during the Grand Central days. For some people, DTMF talkoff is all too common while using GV:
