If you are talking about the sound generated by the fret buzz itself (rather than what gets picked up by the amplifier), then it is similar to a high frequency click, which has lots of spectral content in overtones. You can hear this from the fact that fret buzz does not sound at all like a pure tone (indeed, if it did, you wouldn't be able to tell it from the clean vibration of the string). | |
