One fret has a "buzzing" sound

[sbomb]

I have yamaha 310, not a great guitar but good enough for me. Recently the 8th fret of the B string has been buzzing, producing a completely different sound to which it should. Normally i dont use it but recently ive been learning warning sign and the sound is just terrible with the buzzing noise. Ive changed the string twice to no avail. The noise is coming from the peg at the bottom, ive taken it out and put it back in, but the noise remains. This is the ONLY fret and string which are affected, so long term i guess ill just avoid the one or two songs i know but ideally i really want this fixed as Warning sign is my favourite song to play.


Any remedies or anything i can do to stop this noise which is really killing my enjoyment of my guitar

Cheers

If only one fret is buzzing, it's not coming from the peg at the bottom. The 8th fret is either too low, or the 9th fret is too high. You could try to adjust the trussrod so the neck gets more relief, or you could heighten the saddle of your B-string.

Yep. Sounds like a trussrod issue to me as well. I'd advise getting it checked out if you can't fix it yourself.
