if it is a spit sound than you most likly have spit in your mouthpiece or on your read, only sulution is to clean it off, or suck it up (literaly).

Beginner,
One or more of four things may be happening. There may be condensation under the reed, in the mouthpiece, or in the neck under the octave key hole. You may elect to take the following actions:
- If the condensation is under the reed, take it out and wipe it clean.
- If it is in the mouthpiece, take your mouthpiece swab (which everyone should have) and run it through the mouthpiece once. Or, if you do not have one handy, just take the mouthpiece off the neck, and shake off the excess condensation carefully!
- If the condensation is in the octave key hole (this applies for alto and tenor saxes), take the neck out of the body, cover the hole of the neck with your hand, and put your mouth on the mouthpiece as if you were about to play. With both ends of the neck closed, open the octave key hole with your other hand, and blow air through the mouthpiece. You should see droplets of water coming out of the hole. This is mainly what is causing the buzzy tone when you play.
Happy playing!
Thomas

Jazzy Valentine,
How, may I ask, do you breathe any differently in yoga, besides breathing slower? It is physically impossible for a human`s respiratory system to remove the moisture from the air.
