I had an annoying buzz too - turned out to the surrounds to the speedo had worked a bit loose. Tightened up and all ok.
We found a fix that eliminates the most annoying noise.
Wait for it!
A 2lb weight wrapped up in an old dishcloth and tied around the tube of the wiper mechanism.
Most of the rattling has gone.
I might try packing it with grease at some time.

Mine has a piece of mahogany staircase handrail bolted to the throttle pedal...
I have the same buzzing problem. It stops if I press the dash between the dials, and sometimes when I just press the dial glass itself, so I am thinking new ring seals might be required
