Hey trickstyler,
It may be the thickness of the pick you're using. A thinner pick makes a clicking sort of sound, depending on the attack, which is the way you hit the strings.

It's hard to know exactly which sound you mean, but a few more details and we can help figure it out for you.

In the case of an acoustic, I always considered it part of the overall sound of an acoustic guitar.

In the case of an electric, well... turn it up! :D
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.

Ya, shouldn't be a huge issue on an electic since that tiny click should be drowned out anyways. If you are using an acoustic and you don't like it, I'd say the pick or your attack (hardness of attack and the angle you are coming in at) would be the 2 things to look at.
