If an adjustable bridge,slightly raise the end a teeny bit at atime and check for buzz.If not adjustable,you may be able to pack up the white insert on the end that needs lifting.It wont need much.If that no good then find the offending fret by fretting the string all along the fretboard,one fret at a time.Where it first buzzes is the problem fret.Then,get a small block of wood and place it on the fret and tap it with a hammer.This may take several attempts.Failing that,neck could be twisted and out of your league.
It could be several things, You question is kindly vague.. Here are some symptoms. You will have to pick thru and find the relief.. Buzzes in one particular spot, Frets are not on level. Fret is rising out of fingerboard. Secure all loose frets , level and dres. Fret leveling and/or replacement of worn frets. Buzzes on open strings only, Nut, slots in nuts are too deep, worn or poorly cut. Replace nut or shim to add height, set up instrument properly. If it's buzzing on the bottom 6 frets, the truss rod may be too tight, The bridge may be loose, or too high, there are several things that could be wrong here. I would take a look at the frets though. Start there. Then work your way down the list. If it's not an expensive guitar I wouldn't spend alot of money into finding whats wrong. I have some vintage ones that it would be worth it, but if its just a cheapy.. don't waste the money cause it could cost a fortune. Get your guitar 'set-up' by a pro guitar technician. A cheap stereo chorus can sometimes induce a buzz from certain notes, but your guitar is probably in need of a good service. Pro guitar repair is the way to go. Don't take chances with your baby!

∙ 13y agoTake it to a shop and have the truss rod adjusted. If the neck is slightly bowed, it will cause fret buzz. A trusted instrument tech should be able to do it in a breeze, but don't try it yourself, the truss rod can easily be broken. Then, the neck will be useless.
-I agree, but notice that this is only if your bass's neck is messed up. Try playing near the edge of the frets, and if that doesn't work, take it to a shop.
-True, You may also have to adjust the bridge. Then again, If you don't know how see a professional.

∙ 14y agoYou may need to adjust your truss rod. Consult a specialist if you've never done it before or are scared of damaging your guitar. Your frets may be have to be levelled (consult specialist) or your action may be too high (lower action at bridge, pretty easy, if you don't know how then Google it, bridges vary).

How do you fix your guitar strings if they buzz?
If it's an electric guitar, it might be your amp, or your pickups. If its acoustic take out the strings, and try replacing them. However, if you're not satisfied with that mediocre (at best) response, try this. The strings on a guitary don't buzz, uneven frets do. If a fret is buzzing and it continues even after you replace old strings, (the dead skin on which acts as a medium to create a false uneveness to the fret) then the buzzing must be fixed by either having a new fret put in, or having the action adjusted by the truss rod. A guitar string will never buzz, it's the fret itself that causes the buzzing.

What is wrong when weird sounds come out of your ukulele when you strum it?
You are probably getting a 'buzz.' This is caused when the frets are not at the correct height and the strings vibrate against fret. Adjusting the string height may eliminate the issue. In some cases the buzz can be caused by the end of a string vibrating against the sound board.
