that happens when the note matches the instruments natural vibration frequency or whatever its called.
from what i know theres no real way to fix it, but u can add mass to change the note that it vibrates at.
or maybe u can try adding some form of dampener in it.

resonant frequency..like you said,its the natural vibration of the instrument matching the vibration of the string..
even when you place your guitar on a stand and play some music on your speakers, some strings will start to vibrate;the strings are matching the frequency of the music played on the stereo.

even in mythbusters,they tried to create a troop of marching soldiers to march on a bridge and cause it to oscillate (resonnace, in a way) with the bridge and cause failure of the structure..
