Fixing Fret Buzz

Fret buzz usually comes from low action, neck relief, or uneven frets.

Simple answer

A little buzz you can't hear through the amp is normal. Loud buzz on certain frets needs attention.

Go deeper

Check neck relief first — a truss rod adjustment of a quarter turn often solves it. If buzz is isolated to one or two frets, a fret level from a tech is the fix.
