Mine does it from time to time as well in what sounds like the same place as yours -- the plastic pieces attached to the arms opposite the mirror mounts. The PO of my bike had some scotch tape around the tabs on the plastic pieces but I would think a bit of rubber strip or thin weather-strip would take care of it nicely. (Assuming its the same culprit as what I've had)

Make sure that the 2 covers are actually sitting correctly, if you look where they are placed, you will see a metal tang at the bottom of were the cover goes in, I bent mine slightly for a firmer fit. There is (or should be) a small piece of foam rubber on the bottom of the cover where it goes into the tang, I replaced this with a thicker/denser foam.
Be careful tightening the screws of the covers, its very easy to over do it & round out the hole of the screw housing & is a bugger to replace.
Also, any vibration coming from the fairing, will travel up to the screen, where you hear it.
There are lots of bits below that will vibrate at certain RPM's, fer instance the two curved pieces of plastic left & right, that you can see when you look down into the fairing from the bars. I had to put foam behind those to stop them driving me nuts. Even the bloody cover for the fuse's now has a rubber washer in place. Also check the access for headlight bulb replacement (front of the bike under the headlight, bottom of faring) another "suspect" in search of a quite ride. It's trial & error for you to, quicker alternative, get some ear plugs.
