I'll say it before someone else does, searching the forums is usually advised before asking a question.

But here are some likely candidates for the cause:
-Neck adjustment needed via truss rod
-the grooves in your nut are too deep
-fret re-dressing may be required
-have you changed string gauges? that may also be the cause.

to hard of a attack when hitting the strings is another example..

if you hit the strings lightly does it make the same noise?
