Mystery eavesdropping on iphone

Has this happened to anybody else?

I was texting someone this morning in Whatsapp, when my phone started listening in on somebody and playing what it could hear on my phone speaker (i.e. out loud - not headphones etc).

It sounded like a butt dial, but no other app was in use, and I don't know who it could have been who was making the noises - it was somebody coming into their house with a small dog (dog panting/claws on wooden floor, playing with a squeaky toy), and then it switched to music, like they'd put on Spotify (didn't recognise the music - it wasn't my Spotify), and then it stopped.

No call recorded, no voicemail recorded, nothing happening in Whatsapp except me texting a friend (and it wasn't her because she was elsewhere). So it's like my phone just randomly "listened" to a random person.

Has this ever happened to anyone? I'm on O2 and there have been electricity/network problems around here over the last day or two.
