Alot of players seem to think that "grunting" is not audible to the audience but it seems the tube of the clarinet amplifies this problem to a degree that even an audience can hear this...especially in softer passages. This Grunting is caused by a number of things, first tension in the throat and tongue and also by trying to gain control over the sound through this avenue, rather than breathe support.

Its a fairly common problem and should be stomped out as soon as possible. If anything, it also deadens the sound and degree of dynamics a player is able to achieve.
