InterVLAN Broadcast flooding problem

InterVLAN Broadcast flooding problem

Hello,
In our deployment we have a core switch (BD 8800) connecting to edge switches (x440-24p) through aggregation switches (x460-24x).
All the ports on edge switches are configured for at least two vlans, vlan 10 is voice and an untagged vlan for data or other applications.
Now the problem is I am seeing traffic (at least broadcast) from the untagged vlans appearing in voice vlan.
This is happening all over the network hence putting extra load on all ports and as a result the IP Phones are not able to acquire IP from DHCP server. If i remove the tagged vlan (i.e voice) from a specific port then the leakage from that port into voice vlan stops.
Any idea about solving this issue ?

UPDATE: I disconnected the switch where my laptop is connected from rest of the network.Then i connected another laptop to another port which is configured for untagged data and tagged voice on this same switch.Then I started sending ping request to an unavailable address and I can still see the ARP requested generated by that laptop in data vlan on my laptop which is in voice vlan.
scenario right now:
test laptop--->[switch]<---my laptop

Do you use feature like "VLAN Translation" ?

yes you are right 10.154.x.x is data vlan, and I have shutdown all the other switches. only 4 switches are ON in total. The scenario right now is like:
device-->[edge sw]-->[aggregation sw]-->[core sw]<--[edge sw]<---my laptop
the only untagged ports right now are the 2 ports, 1st whre the test device is connected and 2nd where my laptop is connected. Both of these are on different vlans.
The configuration across all the switches is similar so I dont know where the mixup can possibly happen.
And as i mentioned earlier if i remove for example voice vlan from that test port then i stop seeing the broadcast from that device in voice vlan. So as far as i can see the mixup is happening on source port.

Just to be clear the device 10.154.0.22 I assume is in your Data Vlan right? and your seeing ARP's from this device even though you connected directly into the Voice Vlan?

I cant imagine any other way how layer 2 broadcasts could hop vlans unless they are not connected in someway. Obviously the method I mentioned could be happening / configured anywhere in your network and you would still see it where you are connected.

If not that then I'm stumped at the moment.

here is my config for the edge switch where the traffic at port is getting mixed-up/leaked:
Test device is connected to port 19 which belongs to RMS vlan 15 for untagged traffic. All other vlans are tagged on that port.
