Do the frets on a guitar make the sound?
The frets don't nessicarily make the noise, but the tension on the frets as you get higher on the fretboard is what makes the noise. It's the strings that make the sound.

What is the middle of a guitar called?
Guitar has three main parts: guitar body, neck, and a head. Guitar head has tuning pegs which are used to tighten the strings. Guitar neck has frets which are used to shorten the string and produce different pitches. Guitar body is where the sound is produced. Guitar body has three main parts: the top (soundboard), back, and sides. The top has additional different parts: sound hole (a cutout in the body through which the sound comes out), rosette (does not have any sound-producing purpose, but ornaments the sound hole), bridge (holds the strings on the lower side), and saddle (transfers the vibrations from the strings to the soundboard).
