2002 Savage gas tank problem

My Savage has a noise like a very fast rattle or vibration coming from
the gas tank area when the rpms get up near the next shift point. I can
make it go away completely by pressing down on the speedometer with my
hand. I plan on taking the gas tank off this weekend to have a look see
but I'm wondering if anyone has ever had this problem?

Tia,
Ken
