The buzzzzzz could be the two layers of a pad beating against each
other when the pad is in the open position, when there is no tension is
created by the edges of the tone hole and when the air is rushing past
it. The only pad that fits this description, being open for all throat
tones, is the little pad that is part of the first and top ring key.
This pad cup and pad reside under the finger touch portion of the
throat tone "A" key.

It could be almost any pad, open or closed that vibrates within a
certain range of vibrations.

Sometimes, finding such a buzz, either with a pad or with a piece or
part of keywork is a two man job.

Good luck,

RB
