Annoying buzzing from driver area solved.
Had an annoying buzzing when going over bumps or rough road. Sounded like it was coming from behind the speedometer or HUD. When I banged on the dashboard around that area I would hear the buzzing. Opened stuff up and explored the area to find that the actual culprit was a piece of plastic tubing way down low. You can get access to it by removing the 2 T20 screws for the compartment. Once it was open I put some dynamat sound deadening material on the plastic tubing and it seems to have solved the problem.

Interesting! I have an occasional noise from the same up-top dash area, only in cold weather. Looks easy to check this possibility, thanks.

Having driven the car around for a few days now, it was well worth the effort. My wife and I looked at each other amazed at how quiet the car is now. Sounded like a cheap econobox car with all the buzzing. Just glad it was relatively easy to find.
