Some saddles can cause a buzz - but the barrel saddles shouldn't as they have a string forcing the saddle down at each screw in post.
I have only had tuners vibrate when the nut has come loose!

The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
I noticed that the tuners were vibrating when they were not strung. took a while to figure out where the "fuzzy" sound was coming from. But if the tuner is not strung, the "post" can move a bit.Originally Posted by Trevor Davies
My youngest daughter thinks that most of the buzz comes from the bridge and a fainter "tinnier" buzz from the first fret area....
If:
capo'd at the first and fretted on the 17th frets - I'm going to guesstimate that the bottom of the string is about 0.5 mm.
Capo'd at the first fret - I'd say the gap at the 12th is about 2.5 mm for the low E
To illustrate that string a bit further, if Capo'd at the first fret then at the 21st fret the gap between the fret and the bottom of the E string is 3 mm.
.......and to reduce the buzz (to only when you really try to get it) I'd have to raise the "E" and "A" saddle a bit more.
