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.

Now that you've localised it... can you solve it with lower mass by pulling the tube towards a convenient fixed point or two?

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
