Rotate the mirror a bit to work the glue into the joint between the rubber and the glass, then wipe up the glue residue. Hopefully just a few spots of black silicone will be enough to keep the glass from rattling. But yeah on the earbuds... for some short trips, I don't wear them, and think about all of the weird noises my bike makes and fret about them being normal or not...
Along these lines of wondering where the problem is, had a funny incident just now coming to work. Been very happy that my Ebay LED spotlights and Amazon LED headlight bulbs have been working so well and so long on my bikes. Pulled the Triumph into the shop this morning, and before I turned off the key, noticed a bit of flickering on the ground in the light pattern. Thought "well, shoot, one of those lights must be going out."
Stood in front of the bike for five minutes staring at the beams (Yeah, I still have three white spots in my vision right now). Nothing wrong. Huh. Turned the bike off, went in, took my gear off and got a cup of coffee.
Went back out to the shop to get working, and noticed flickering on my work project.
The flickering was coming from the flourescent tube up above me.
Yeah, that's prolly what I'll do, but I'll use clear silicone because it's what I have. I think black might show more. But if people are looking that closely at my bike and comment on it, then they should take a few steps back.

thanks for that...I feel much better about the numerous times similar things have happened to me.
