Acoustic guitar:
When the string is plucked, the vibrations from the string sets the air inside the guitar in motion. These movements are picked up and amplified by the body of the guitar, before exiting the hole in the middle and in to our ears. How loud you play is determined by how hard you play, as well as what type of wood your guitar is made of and it's size - size matters.
Electric guitar:
When the string is plucked, the vibrations from the string are picked up electronically in different ways, depending on what pickups you're using (single-coil pickups have only one metalthread that can move the sound forward, as compared to a humbuckers with two coils), and is transmitted via the guitar cable to the amplifier to make sound. Inside the amplifier there are transistors and other technical stuff that amplify the sound. How loud you play is determined by how much electrical current you let pass through from the amplifier to the guitar and vice-versa (both the guitar and amplifier has volume-knobs), and is made possible by turning your volume-button up or down.
Electric guitar: The strings vibrate over the pickups, which are electromagnets with wire wrapped around them. They pick up the vibrations of the string and turn them into an electrical signal (electromagnetic induction). The body of the guitar helps to clarify these vibrations. The signal is then transferred to the amplifier, which of course amplifies this tiny signal.
Acoustic guitar: The sound from the strings resonate in the body of the guitar and is thereby amplified. Further amplification requires microphones etc.

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.
