buzz/rattle on 2012 MCS

hey i just heard this buzzing/rattling coming from around the passenger side of my dash. i have a 2012 MCS with just under 7k miles. there is absolutely nothing in the secret compartment and glove box. the weird thing is that the sound only happens a lil above 2K rpms (about 2100-2200 id guess) and when going over bumps. no sound at all below 2100 and above 2300 rpms. **i don't visually see anything loose up top and i checked the positive cable cover and it's not open or touching the firewall. i've included a video link i recorded off my phone that doesnt sound too great but is much louder in person. (may have to turn volume up)

you can hear it at the 6- 10 second area, and on an off from 13 second to the end when i'm feathering the gas. any ideas what it could be? i hope its not the start of the death rattle. please help!

Does it sound likes it's interior? My tach buzzes / rattles. You can grab it & stop it. If you think it's motor related check your oil. Video wouldn't play.
