Sound Bleedover in Game
I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this. But I'll log into the game, and sometimes I hear bleedover from past missions, or of background music. I can tell it's bleedover because it sounds garbled, and not at all consistent with my activities. For instance, today I was standing around in ESD, and I heard dialogue from that mercenary hacker with the southern drawl in the Klingon Civil War episode. Or just before I quit for the night, again in ESD, but there was music from a space mission. I'm hoping this is just a glitch in the game and not something that will cause me to have to go through the trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

Perhaps you're hearing someone else's mic? There should be a way to turn off open teaming either by clicking on the bottom right hand button next to the chat window or opening the teaming window by pressing"O". I forget which.
Is that possible when I'm not even in a team? Someone's mic can bleed into my audio just by being in the same instance as me?
If you want to test it try changing map instance when you start hearing it.
I remember that by default open teaming is toggled on which means when you enter a map instance you can team up with other randos.
I got it again last night when I went in. Headed to Chat Settings and under the Voice Chat tab, I checked Disable Voice Chat. The bleedover stopped - I want to think someone has been broadcasting without knowing it, but since it happened consistently, I know that not to be the case. Doesn't matter, though... I never use a mic while playing, so Voice Chat is kinda useless to me anyway. I'm just glad the problem is solved.
