set up related unusual (unwanted) noise

[steve-bbb]

just had a wee set up - tweak of the truss rod , saddles etc and nut filed down as was waaay to high

now have a really strange noise coming from my open D - not so much a buzz more a whine - its a really strange high pitch harmoinc type noise that is a loud enough to be noticeable and disonnant enough to be irritating!

the saddles all seem fairly settled so my only guess is possible from the nut end - indeed listening to the bass acoustically it does seem to come more from that end

is it possible for nut groove string seating to cause this sort of thing? anybody any experience? i have a spare piece of nut bone but would prefer not the expense of having new nut set in place and set up but if needs must i guess

Does it go away if you apply a bit of extra pressure on the string just behind the nut?

Make sure the groove in the nut runs downhill towards the tuners & check there's a good 'witness point' right at the front edge of the nut. See how that goes.

thanks for the replies will check this evening - also just remembered - noticed it more since i restrung it last week but my string application is always consistent as dictated my bordeline ocd!
