annoying buzzing vibration coming from console at certain RPMs

When the car is accelerating and the RPMs get in the 3000 range, there's an annoying high-pitched vibration coming from the center console near the large MPH display.

At certain RPMs we notice buzzing sounds coming from the bottom of the A-pillar areas as well.

I've tried holding various parts of the console firmly but I haven't had any luck isolating the source.

I know these things can be hard to track down, but have others of you experienced these and what did you do about them?

I've isolated the buzzing as coming from the vertical trim piece to the right of the HVAC controls. If I hold that firmly, the buzzing goes away. Now to try to take apart those pieces--Any DIYs out there for disassembling the center console?
