Acoustic: The string vibrates - this causes the sounding board of the guitar to vibrate at the same frequency (note). The velocity of a wave through the soundboard is higher than that of the string, so the soundboard causes sounds much louder than the strings. Electric: The string vibrates, which disrupts the magnetic field of the pickups. Whatever frequency a string vibrates at causes a different magnetic flux. An electrical current can be induced by a change in magnetic flux. This current is sent to an amp, which produces the sound.

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. They vibrate when you pluck them producing a sound. The sound is amplified in the body of the guitar(acoustic guitar). The frets enable you to vary the length of the strings thus making them produce a different sound.

Why does a guitar makes noice?

First off, noise is made by the vibration of the guitar strings, with pitch being changed by how fast or slow the strings are vibrating. In the case of an electric guitar, the sound is picked up by the pickups, which can be thought of like microphones in your guitar that detect the noise and send the signal to an amplifier to process and deliver the "noise" In the case of a standard acoustic guitar, the vibration of the strings is amplified by the large, hollow body of the guitar(think of how your voice sounds in a large empty room-same principle). In both cases, the "noise" you are asking about can be changed by the type of wood the guitar is made of, and its density. Hope this helped. -professional guitarist
