Odd noise from dash

[mycaptainchris]

I have a very odd tapping noise from behind the speedometer/rev counter. Doesn't matter if the car is moving or not, in fact I hear it better when stopped. But it sounds like an annoying child constantly tapping and I have a temp fix that works the same for both cases...... turn up the radio!!! But what could it be?

Does it go away if you turn the HVAC off? Because the noise in mine does . . .

Ever figure this out?
Just got an 06 with the auto climate controls, even with the fan all the way down you hear it. Its not rhythmical, but tap tap... tap..... tap tap tap.... tap tap.... Turn off the HVAC and it stops.

Makes no difference on dual or single, recirc or not, just always there.
