Same thing happens when I play the B string, only it’s the lower E string that hums. It’s an accoustic guitar with steel strings. Anything I can do to stop this happening?

The acoustic guitar I just received today has 18 frets…is that normal, and know its not a classical, it has steel strings. I hope this isn’t a scale-guitar if you know what I mean. Also how many frets do different types of guitars usually have? Sorry, couldn’t find this here, or on the internet quickly…don’t have a lot of time.

I know they are both nylon strings, but is there a significant difference in construction and sound? Also what is a good classical guitar or flamenco guitar to buy? I have been playing the steel strings for a long time and am thinking about exploring the classical style. Any recommendation helps. Thank you.
