The front end will omit vibration and it doesn't take much for the shield to buzz, rattle etc. make sure not only the shield but any metal connection are away from the forks, headlight etc.
Bring the rpm's up on the center stand or side stand until you hear the buzz and hold the shield, if it goes away that's your problem.
Funny how some noises seem to come from other places, like the instrument cluster.
I just remembered (Duh!) that I had this too with my NC EX Shield and it was exactly where the lower attachment rod touched the band clamp on each fork tube. Although my noise was more of a metallic clink at every bump.
I put some black rubber tubing over the lower rods where they contacted the band clamps and the noise was gone. I actually stole a few short pieces from the flexible tube on my anti-freeze tester. You cannot even tell that it was not intended for the shield support rods.
