Of course it buzzes if your cycle length doesn't coincide with
inNumberFrames. You need to remember your "j" across calls (make it
static to see if it solves your problem).

Also, why are you using 512 instead of inNumberFrames in your loop?
That doesn't make much sense to me as there is no reason to believe
that inNumberFrames will always be 512 frames.

In addition, your sine wave will cause digital clipping (wrapping)
when you multiply the result of the sin() call by 32768. Make sure you
limit your output to the range -32768...32767 to be on the safe side.
