Could be. If the weather was the only variable that changed before the buzz started, humidity, or a rapid change thereof, is a likely culprit.
Weather here in VA swings wildly. Case in point, Thursday it was in the 20s, today we’re close to 70. I have a whole-house humidifier built into the HVAC system that runs in the winter. That’s more for human comfort than instruments. In addition to that, I have a smaller humidifier AND dehumidifier in the music room to keep the levels more fine-tuned. I run the small humidifer often during colder snaps, and the dehumidifier often during the summer. You should buy a cheap hygrometer and keep an eye on it. They aren’t particularly accurate, but they’ll give you a ballpark, and more importantly, you can see big swings in humidity.
