I like when there's some buzz as it adds some percussive kind of sound, a little bit wild kind of thing, anyway even if I didn't like buzzing my guitars would buzz anyway when strummed as I hate high action, you can hear it here on my Furch which has a very low action , perfect for fingerstyle

Depends on the genre/song
I don't mind some fret buzz if you're playing something bluesy like a Clapton acoustic tune, kind of like a carry over from electric guitar.

I always have a little buzz when I play
In all seriousness- sometimes- but only for the bass line. |

I don't really want any buzz. I can tolerate a little but I'll normally get rid of it one way or another.

YES! Guess I'll go against the crowd but I like my acoustic guitars set up to where you can get a buzz on the bass strings when strumming hard, then back to perfectly clean when you back off. Just a little buzz, not something that kills the note, but a more metallic sound when you really dig in. I use it as an effect to drive certain powerful parts, kind of like overdrive on an electric.
Honestly, I think many strummers do this, whether they mean to or not.

I utilize some fret buzz when playing fingerstyle with a slightly aggressive attack, but I don't want it to be a surprise. I have my main guitar set up so I know exactly how far I can take it before I get any buzz.
There is something about popping a string and letting it express some energy in a buzz ( and a buzz while bending is cool too) That said, when I want to play clean and 'pretty' I want no fret buzz at all. |

The only allowable buzz I have when playing guitar is when I have a couple of beers......

No. If the action is so low that the strings buzz, then that guitar's volume and tone are both compromised. It is neither desirable nor pleasant to hear.

A little buzz (that can be controlled) is ok by me.

To buzz or not to buzz, that's the question. If the guitar demands a very high action to not have any buzz at any striking force then I'd rather have the lowest possible action with a relative little ammount of buzz. By playing less forcefull the buzz can be contained at the cost of being less loud.
Some guitars are just like that, the string's amplitude is just marginally more due to some factor in the build, but enough to touch frets when struck/plucked hard. It's not that I like the sound of the buzz, it's just something I have had to live with with certain guitars. Different overall string tension may be beneficial but finding the one set that's not buzzing can be pretty timeconsuming, determining if you still like the way it plays becomes a whole new issue. I mean how many I wonder change their setup on a dayly basis just to remain within the buzzing boundaries, a change in the weather and you're buzzed again. Ludwig |

Absolutely not.
Fret-buzz is the offspring of the Devil. |
