With all of the buzzes and rattles that I've tracked down, almost none of them were bell rims. I hope you find it quickly, though.

Quite often, the problems have been like the T.V. repairman plugging the set into the wall...ie: lyre screw, valve cap, etc. not tightened down. Occasionally, valve springs actually buzz against the bottom caps. Some manufacturers coat them with plastic and they STILL buzz.

If nothing "loose" is loose and you have to track down the solder joint that is failing, pulling on the instrument and noticing where and how hard you have to pull in order to make the buzz stop will eventually lead you to the source.
