noise inside my amp

JC	noise inside my amp When I play certain notes, mainly on the 5th and 6th strings, at medium-low volume, I can clearly hear a noise that comes out from the valves themselves (something like: krlink, klink, klench, clink - that's a thin metal-thin glass noise I presume is from the valves, because a very similar noise can be randomly heard when the amp is getting warm just after turning it on, as if the metal parts inside the valves where getting accomodated to the high temperature inside them. Any opinions/help? jc
