I need help!

When I pluck my A-string without fretting a note, there is a buzz coming from the soundboard. It's not buzzing if I hold a finger close to the bridge onto the top. If you take a close look on the bridge you can see that there's a small space in between on the side where the strings are attached to. I do not really have an idea what to do now.

any ideas from you would be highly appreciated!
 
More info needed, maybe some pics.

"Inbetween the side where the strings are attached to."

Any loose space can cause a buzz, but not automatically so. If it buzzes open, the first place I always look is the nut. Go to Frank Ford's site for a detailed process on tracking down a buzz.

Sound board buzz

I have a kala tenor with an electric pickup. The pickup is a Shadow and the wires running along the inside sometimes sit poorly and buzz on the soundboard. It did it from day one and i thought it was broken. All i needed to do was reach in and move them to get it to stop. Do you have this as well?
