Strange high-pitched squeaking that sounds like an air leak

Hi everyone,

I have been having an unusual problem the last few days. When I try to play notes in the altissimo register, there will be this shrill little squeak instead of the actual note. It's not a normal clarinet squeak - it sounds like there is air leaking somewhere. However, I checked the seal, which appears to be fine. It was just overhauled, and there should not be any cracks. It almost sounds like it's coming from the mouthpiece, but my mouthpiece is not damaged. Has anyone else experienced this? It is very frustrating and quite an awful sound.

Thank you.
