No Lee. The discussion is about string buzz !! Rollers can cause it, a rough bridge can cause it, a bad string, etc.
Even bar placement can cause it. READ JIM'S POST !!

If it has 'split' tuning screws at the top of the changer (see photo), check that they are not stopping the strings from lowering to pitch
