A buzy rattle.
For me it was just on less than smooth roads.
If you touch the frame the noise stops.
I don't have a shaking problem, other than the vibration when my sub is turned up

Mikeee2, the vibration in my mirror was caused sometimes by the exaust note, bass from the music, and any other source of resonant sound which might cause the plastic around the perimeter of the glass to make noise. By stuffing something in between the glass and the plastic, the noise stopped.
If you can squeeze the mirror unit so that the glass is facing your palm, and the vibrating noise stops, I'd say you have my former problem. I was scared to open the mirror by separating the plastic section away from the major part of the apparatus, so I looked for a quick and simple solution.
I also found that the mirror, which had been TSB'd by the dealer to no avail, didn't seem to be attached too securely to the windshield mount. When I remounted, I made the screw secure, but not tight enough to fear the windshield cracking from extreme pressure, as remote as that may seem.
Good luck with isolating and irradicating your "shake". Damn if this ride isn't sweet when she's quiet.

Also, it may be my immagination, but I seem to recall seeing the mirror vibrate with the music so that I was unable to see clearly. The cloth between the plastic and the glass seems to have minimized that. A couple of days ago after I did the job, I found myself checking the vision, and was able to see much more clearly. Depending on the bass in the music there is still a slight visual distortion, BUT NO NOISE FROM THE MIRROR.
