ok, has anybody ever had their instrumetn make buzzing sounds when it's not supposed to?

my flute make these wierd buzzing noises whenever i play a note between E and A in the middle register (not the lower, i mean at the top and above the staff). it's really strange because it's been doing that for the past couple weeks, but it usually went away (wierd huh?). this time though, it wouldn't stop at all. i know it's something with the rods because i can't think of anything else that could be wrong with it, but still.
crying my poor little flute crying
after all we've been through...

anyone else have a story to tell? or a solution if it's something you know about? or just anything?
it's a free-for-all.

Buzzing occurs in woodwind instruments when ( if you play either the Clarinet or Sax) when the lyre is not properly holding down the reed. For Flutes I don't know much about how they work, sorry.

yea, it happened to me today, but i think it had something to do w/ the fact that i was tired so i was being lazy and my clarinet reed was too moist so the excess moisture was buzzing around when i actually played

My trombone just sounds like it's really hungry when I'm not paying attention to my lips.
My friend plays the flute, I'll ask her.
