weird buzzing -clicking

truck is a 90 f250 xlt lariat. 4wd supercab 5.8 w/5spd. every time i get something fixed, something else gets broke.recent repairs include door lock actuators window motors, fuel pump rear tank.left exhaust manifold.headlight switch. I'm sure none of these have nothing to do with the buzzing -clicking noise above 40mph.coming from far upper left corner of dash. anyone have a similiar noise. sounds like something bad is going to happen.

A vid or, at least, a sound clip would really help.

Might be something related to the tach or speedo, as thats pretty much the only thing that varies with speed...

I thought tach or speedo so pulled dash apart.doesnt seem to be either of those making the noise.noise seems to be coming from the far left upper part of the dash.almost sounds like a card in bike spoke.

Hrm... ok here is a thought, put the TC in N and rev up the engine, see if it makes the noise. If not, and you still want to isolate the noise, chock the front tires (on level ground, mind you) jack up the rear end and get the vehicle "up to speed." Carefully, you might be able to see exactly where its coming from. I would say something stuck in your air duct, but the blower motor is on the other side of the dash...
