Buzzing Earbuds?

My left earbud has just started buzzing on heavier/bassier parts of songs. Anybody else experienced this or know what I should do about it?

iMac C2D 2.0ghtz, iPhone, (Hopefully MBP soon), Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Found one guys solution.
Here is what it says:
So this sounds kind of weird, and nasty, but it works!


So you take the earbud thats buzzing/has static and put your mouth around the edge (so your lips are on the rim) and suck in hard...


Make sure your lips are pressing firm on the edge!


This pulls the metal (thats usual dented - if you look) flat/outward...


Usually when your earbud is buzzing/has static it is because the metal mesh is bent and touching the earbud speaker's driver. With this trick your suck the metal off therefore it is not longer touching the driver and stops buzzing!
