Buzzy vibration from top of dash

I've got a 2012 TDV8 and there is a really annoying buzz from the top of the dash on the passenger side, it appears to be coming from under the area where I guess the airbag comes out of the top of the dash. I've tried whacking it, pushing on it and generally fiddling but nothing works, now I've noticed it it's driving me potty. Any ideas?

I had this. It was caused by some ducting not having been attached properly when the car was built. Having identified the sound by accompanying me on a drive the dealer workshop then took the top off the dash and looked for insecure fittings, apparently the cause was obvious once the area was exposed. After I got the car back there was a clicking from a different area, so it went back again for reassembly and no more noises after that. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Thanks for the response, do you mind me asking what year yours was?

Well I bit the bullet and with help from the good people on here took the dash top off to try and sort out my annoying buzz/rattle. The only real problem was the 2 10mm bolts that secure the bottom of the airbag to the cross brace strut thing under the dash, that was a Censored to get at. Anyway I couldn't find anything obvious save for the sound deadening that had come adrift from the dash top. I resecured this with contact adhesive and then bolted it all back together and so far it looks like the rattle has gone, a result and a few hundred pounds saved.
