The reed ideally vibrates at the same frequency across its width during a note. Sometimes (for various reasons, the first being uneven thickness or denseness at the tip) the reed will experience a moment where one side vibrates faster than the other.......you get a node or squeak.

So it has nothing to do with the clarinet player.

Not what I said. Only those are the primary culprits. Now put all sorts of embouchure problems (unnecessary movements; unbalanced control; no control) into the equation and you have.......... more squeaking (nodes). But the actual sound is caused as described.

It can be a variety of things: reed, leaking pad, embouchure, deep crack in wood clarinet, it's kind of a broad question with a variety of answers. If you don't have a clarinet instructor, I would find one and have them help with finding the correct reed hardness and correct embouchure and to look your clarinet over.
