If the strings are hitting the frets and making noise that means that either your action is too low on the instrument or the tension of the strings might be too low. The easiest thing to do would be to try another set of strings with the higher tension. If that does not help, you have to take your guitar to a repair shop and they can adjust the action (easier done for electric than for classical Guitars).

How does shortening a guitar string make the note higher?
in experience I'd say they just break when you try to put them in higher tunings, not sure about making the note higher. I bought a set of Yngwie Malmsteen signature strings the first time, stringed the guitar up , stretched the strings and so I clipped off the strings and the highest note the high E would go into was C. Shortening the string just makes it impossible to reach higher tunings as far as I know, almost smashed a 300$ guitar I owned .. but when that happened it was a long day of fixing guitars.
