Brett, Pull on the cross strut while producing that buzzing sound. If it ameliorates: back-out the screw a little then tighten it (Bill Youse recommends giving the strut a tap with a rubber mallet to seat it) both ends. This is not that uncommon, it can loosen up if the piano is moved a lot. I ended up trickling CA glue around one here to eliminate the buzzing because the screws wouldn't budge either way.
