What is that Sound?

If you hear a strange noise coming from your instrument, don’t panic! It may just be a minor problem, or one that requires no repair, such as the sound of the strings being tuned or the sound of the reed vibrating. Many instruments have a specific sound they make when they are not in tune or need adjustment. The only way to find out what is happening is to listen carefully and try to determine what it might be.

Some common types of strange noises are listed below.

Since I teach and repair brass instruments, I get a lot of questions about strange noises coming from them. One of the first things to understand is that almost any sound coming out of an instrument is perfectly normal. There are so many sounds that can happen when playing wind instruments that it’s impossible to know what most of them are from just listening to them. This is why I always make sure to look at the instrument before diagnosing it.

Here’s my list of some of the most common sounds and their possible causes:

Scraping or clunking when moving slides. This can range from a mild scraping sound to a loud clunk. It usually means the slides need greasing; it can also mean there is something in the slide (like a paper clip). Also, you may have inadvertently bent the slide while cleaning it or storing it; I have seen this several times on trombone slides (check for bends by looking through each tubing section).

Hissing noise as you play. A hissing noise can indicate a leak around the mouthpiece–make sure nothing is in the gap between the mouthpiece and receiver (cork if you have one, shim if you don’t). A hissing noise can also
