I was bugged by this problem for months before I found a fix.

B&M ships with soft black rubber O-rings as dampeners(inside shifter to linkage joint) find similar sized hard O-rings in the plumbing department at the hardware store. There were four rings on mine. I replaced all for a few bucks.
It will be a tight fit, but no more BUZZZZZ!

I did this a year ago. so far so good.
