If the action is too low it might cause fret noise,comes with the territory,sort of.
Or perhaps you need to replace frets,too old,ruined? -------------------- Youtube

I think your strings are a bit close to the fretboard, try adjusting the screws for some more height!

... or the truss rod might need to be adjusted, if the neck is curved.

The intonation is still OK. The flagiolette 12th fret sounds the same as he fretted 12th fret.

another trick is to sand back the fret wires BUT this has to be done with the utmost care as you don't want to sand the neck - use a file for this. If you do that you should also get one of these, just to make sure you're one the right fret |

with the fretdread you just mean the iron fret right? And with this device you can find out which fret is making the noise?

Yes, by hitting the fret responsible it will complete the elcetric circuit and cause the led to light up

Did you leave time to the wood to settle? Generally when doing those modifications always leave the guitar some time and see if it plays good.
It is normal to hear the fret buzz on lower action. If you go too low, you can hear the string buzz on the frets. If you go too high, you cannot play properly, it is a matter of fine tune balance really. The most important thing to know when doing any modification is do you really need the modification. One thing - if you are happy with your current action you shouldn't change it because it says somewhere. On the other hand, if you do need your strings lower you must also adjust the neck and the bridge. Only quality instruments can be allowed to be adjusted properly and not have a fret buzz, and by quality firstly I mean very quality fretwork on the neck. You must try to untighten the neck's tross rod and see if a bowed neck doesn't make fret noise. If it does, than your frets are just not made for that action that's all. Raise the strings. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I think the best solution is to take it to music shop or repair shop to get it fixed and ask the guitar guy to watch while he fixes your guitar so you can setup it in the future. Around here setup cost around 10-20e, maybe more there but not over 80$ Im'sure. I think 80$is worth it.
