Glovebox (I think) buzzes/rattles at speeds below motorway speed. Getting very annoying. Is this a known rattle with a known solution?

Mine has this rattle at about 2300rpm in lower gears. Trying to pinpoint it to somewhere in the dash on the passenger side.
I wondered if something was out of balance? (clutch, flywheel, gearbox) but cannot actually feel a vibration.

Try to tighten up the tyre monitor (2xwheel screws on the side)
It's just below glove box
You might need to kneel down to see it.

I had something similar. It was the leather covered "bar" across the front of the dash just in front of the windscreen. If you pressed it, the buzzing stopped.

It was fixed with a bit of talc where the leather panels join.
