Are you sure you're producing the buzz? Does this happen in all ensembles you play in? No matter where you sit? Does it happen at all dynamic levels or just loud ones? All registers?
You don't give much information about the buzz or the circumstances when you notice it. If it only happens in loud passages, could you be blowing so hard that air is escaping through your nose? What ligature are you using? I have had experience with some ligatures that will whistle when even a small air leak around the mouthpiece happens (again, possibly especially in loud passages) especially ones like the Gigliotti ligatures that create a small space between the ligature and the mouthpiece body.. The air hits an edge of the ligature and makes a whistling sound just as a flute does when you blow against the edge of the mouth hole.
If there are percussion nearby, snares that are engaged can vibrate sympathetically, but that would be a very specific circumstance. You wouldn't hear it when playing by yourself and not near a drum or with the snares turned off.
