Popping Valves

Whenever I play my horn, and try to play slurred notes, slow or fast, there is always a slight popping sound, like the buildup of air in the valve. I am pretty sure it is not anything that I am doing. My teacher says she cannot hear it, but all of the other students that hear me play say they can. Is this just my imagination or could it be something physically with the horn? Is there any way to fix this problem? I play a PT-4, w/ rotary valves.... Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for everything in advance!!!
