Rattle under glove compartment

I've pinpointed the annoying rattle I've had to somewhere under the glove compartment (the place with the the all the wires and stuff). Today I went under there with a flashlight and tightened every nut and screw I could but the problem persists. The rattle is a tiny high frequency rattle that almost sounds like a buzz. I've taken it to the dealer and gotten a "Could Not Duplicate" so I've taken it upon myself to fix it. Can anyone help me on this one?

Thanks for the post Raptor but I don't think I'm getting the Marbles in a Can rattle. Mine doesn't sound as loud as marbles in a can would sound. Also, it happens at all RPM ranges, as long as the car is moving. Basically if the car is undergoing and sort of high frequency vibration than the rattle will pop up.

Well, it's gone for know. I tightened up some of the screws some more and its seems to have passed. But I have a feeling its coming back with a vengeance.
