Short squeak on staccato

Author: Dobby

Hi,

I noticed recently the following issue while playing staccato notes at soft dynamics: whenever I try to play a middle C staccato, the note is briefly preceded by a (very) short squeak. This short squeak is not present on other notes, except C an octave above middle C. Also, the squeak isn't produced when I play staccato notes on loud dynamics. Do you have any idea of what could cause this issue? I'm fairly sure that I am 100% responsible for the squeak, as the problem persists on other clarinets, mouthpieces or reeds. I tried to pay attention to properly place my fingers, to keep my embouchure steady, but that did not solve the problem.

If this is relevant information, I am an adult learner and started the clarinet 3 years ago.
