Vibration/rattle when at idle & while in gear < 1000 rpm's

Just picked up my car last Thursday -just hit the 100 mile mark today.

Today while trying to cruise with no stereo, nice and quite, I notice an annoying vibration coming from what appears to be the HVAC controls.

If you start to drive, put the car in neutral/park, no vibration exists.

Is there any easy fix for this? I can't seem to stop the vibration by pressing on various panels, etc.

Thanks!

UPDATE:

I took it to the dealer and they found that the fuel line was rattling against a vent tube from underneath the car. Lines were secured and rattle is gone!!!

Haven't had a quick, positive experience at a dealer in a while, so I'm glad this one was easy!

Did some more testing. Actually, I was able to get the same vibration/rattle without the fans on. As long as I was in gear, I could hear it.

So annoying and loud and unacceptable for 100 miles on a 49k car.
