If it's the soft, high pitches you're referring to, they're sometimes
called "whisper tones" and yes, they have been used in making music. If
you're interested you could check out the classical flutist Robert Dick, I
seem to remember that he uses them in contemporary western (classical)
flute music.
I like to play around with them, try to stabilize the pitch and use them
in improvisation, both on shakuhachi and western flute.
