fretbuzz is my assumption, you can get it on one fret or more than one, so raise the action (String elevation) and if it doesn't go away you have to bring it to a guitar shop as uneven or worn down frets really change the sound of the guitar.

adjusting the action you will have to adjust the trussrod afterwards though , keep in mind.

How do string instruments make sound?

Different string instruments have different ways to make sound. Pianos hit the strings with a felt covered "Hammer", a Guitar creates a sound when the guitar player plucks a string. Either way, each string instrument makes sound by the vibration of the string.


My guitar is making vibrations with the neck and sounds horrible because the strings are too loose on drop tunings?

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 a guitar make a noise?

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.
