It sounds like a rattly saddle or something to me. I'd be focusing my attention on the saddle and the nut if I were you.
It can't be the nut if it's happening on barre chords, at least I don't think it can. It also can be heard if I capo at the 12th and play a barre chord behind the capo, which I would say rules out just about everything but sympathetic vibration. It's not unknown for me to make a fuss about nothing and blow everything out of proportion. A tempest in a teapot, if you will.
Would it be a proud fret or something?
I think I might be misunderstanding this, but surely if it's happening on barre chords and such then it can't be sympathetic vibration?

Here's a youtube vid to explain what's happening, the guy seems quite condescending but it's the only video I could find on it.
I get one on my '73 Strat, not sure whether it's truss rod or tremolo spring resonance.
I also sometimes get one on my new Strat, much higher pitched, it seems to be one of the strings resonating behind the nut.
