are you pressing right at the end of the frets? What are you playing? A C40?
Guitarin' isn't a job, so don't make it one.

Im not sure how you would do this on a classical, but on an electric string buzz is caused by strings rattling against the frets. This is caused by the action being too low, or you need to adjust the truss rod.
Try putting a piece of paper over the nut grooves to raise the strings a bit.

Or if the nut comes off shim it with a strip cut to the same shape from an aluminum can.

The buzz normally happens in Cmaj and Gmaj chords
