5-Key Capacitive Sensor Key board with fluctuating sound

Hello,

My Arduino UNO it having a strange behaviour only when running the following code. I've made 5-Key Capacitive Sensor Key board with fluctuating sound, it's quite simple but at one point it seems as if it went crazy and starts playing without touching the keys. Indeed is really sensitive, because I have to be aware that anything istouching the shield or the key, even my woooden table. I have seen some proyects in which they have something like an "autocalibrate" or so. Could be that the problem? I copy the code and upload the fritzing image.

 #include <CapacitiveSensor.h>
#include <pitches.h> //aunque estan incluidos supuestamente en la libreria, los pongo entre <> en vez de entre "" porque mi arduino no se pasa por el arco del triunfo las normas de convivencia!!

/*
 * CapitiveSense Library Demo Sketch MODIFICADO EL ORIGINAL DE *Paul Badger 2008
 * Uses a high value resistor e.g. 10M between send pin and receive pin (COMO NO TENGO RESISTENCIA TAN GRANDE Y ABAJO INCA QUE LOS VALORES PUEDEN VARIAR ENTRE 50K y 50M.. HE PUESTO EL POTENCIOMETRO DE 100K Y A CORRER S Resistor effects sensitivity, experiment with values, 50K - 50M. Larger resistor values yield larger sensor values.
 * Receive pin is the sensor pin - try different amounts of foil/metal on this pin

What was the purpose of reading the sensors at the start of loop if you don't use those values?

What is the purpose of saving the value in a variable at all?

      noTone;

What do you think this is doing?
