Narrative:
After clearing runway 35L on taxiway Z, ATC asked us our flight number and where we were going? First officer had wrong communication select button depressed. He could hear ATC, but when he tried to respond, he was on the wrong frequency. After approximately 2 seconds delay, I responded with the carrier name and flight number. The transmission I made must have been blocked. ATC responded to it with 'turn left on taxiway K and taxi to gate.' unfortunately he was talking to another airlines flight which was to our right on taxiway Y. No conflict between aircraft. However, controller was not pleased with our left turn on taxiway K. We discussed with controller that his readback must have been blocked and we assumed it was for us. More patience and radio vigilance should have been practiced by us to make sure we were in fact the aircraft being controled.
