Strange Noise from 740GL 700 1989

1989 740GL 4D SEDAN

I'm getting a strange noise from my car, and It's frustrating to no end. I only hear it at idle, but it may be there all the time. (Engine probably drowning it out.)

It seems to come from the center console, and it's a buzzing. It's similar to the sound when you turn a power steering wheel too far. It's not that, but that's similar to the sound. I still have the problem where the air only blows from the defrosters, but I don't care about that. (Only mentioning in case it's connected). Sometimes the sound is constant, and sometimes it pulses. Sometimes when I smack or kick the center console, it goes away for a few seconds. Any idea what this could be?

I'm still getting horrible milage too. Not sure if that's connected, but I just keep getting ripped off by mechanics. I'm not sure how big the tank is on this car, but it should take me more than 160 miles. Thanks for any help.
