Default buzz in dash

2010 Street Glide with an annoying buzz in dash area. Maybe in one of the gauge's or radio, like a piece of solder that broke off... Any help?
I have tied down every thing inside of fairing and wrapped some connectors in foam, all bolts are tight.

Check the thin metal bracket that goes from the frame to the speaker. Mine broke at the speaker side and had a buzz.

Mine has done that after long trips at high speeds. I have had the fairing completely apart, for other things, and have never found what causes it.

I know it's not the dash, but by any chance did you replace the locking fuel door with the push-button model? Mine buzzes all the time, and at first it sounded like it was coming from the dash. If I open the fuel door and slam it shut it will stop for a while - but the buzz always comes back. I haven't looked to see if there is any way to adjust the mechanism.

Check to make sure you don't have the infamous broken fairing bracket. It will buzz with vibration!

Are you sure its not the windshield? My center screw was a little loose and created a high pitch squeak

Start touching and moving things while it vibrates to locate the source...

thanks guys, It happens at approx 2500 RPM and on wash board roads, it for sure is not a squeak, I do have the push button fuel door, dash brackets are not broken, I have removed the fairing and secured every connector and wire. I have an electronic listening device call Chaise Ears that has a headset and multiple clip on microphones that I will be hooking up with fairing removed so that I can try and pin it down. I will keep you posted. thanks again
