No, I wouldn't be concerned as long as the water pressure in your house does not seem to be excessive when you turn on a faucet. If you suspect high pressure, a simple way to see if the pressure relief valve on your water heater has been tripping, is to place a small plastic cup under the discharge pipe for a few days to see if any water has been released. When the water pressure get high enough, the relief valve will open for a few seconds to relieve the pressure. But, if the expansion tank is working, this should never happen.
