Mine buzzes at about 2900 rpm. I know you're thinking, why let it drop to 2900. But you have to get past 2900 to get to 4000.
Does yours buzz?
What rpm?
Where's that buzz coming from?
While I'm at it does yours smell a little gassy when you first start up on fast idle?

My son said my smells gassy when cold and under excelleration so thats why I bought the 34 dollar plugs that I can not put in until I buy the f*&king little screw tips on top of the plugs.
I thought maybe my spark was not good enough.
I will let you know if it's the fix..as soon as I put them in..

I've noticed that my LT has become a bit buzzy of late. I'm hoping a set of new iridium NGK plugs and a fresh TB synch will calm things back down.

I think that jo probably smells a little gassy on start-up too.
Sorry about that slight detour.
You know now that I think about it, my RS has a sort-of vibration at some rpm but I will have to pay attention to it tomorrow and report back to this thread. If I still own it tomorrow...........

At the top of the forum someone said a TB synch. Whats a TB synch? is it like a kitchen synch or a bathroom synch? Or indeed a synch hole !!

Throttle body synch = synchronise throttle bodies.
