Speedometer Bounce?

Speedometer Bounce?
So my speedometer has been some what annoying me. Seems that when I am at a stop light, or just plain old idling (after driving for a little) the speedometer needle likes to bounce..like its dancing
It did this on the stock cluster as well as the sport trac cluster i just threw in yesterday. Despite the weird bouncing at idle it seems the speedo is dead on (while moving). Any ideas?

Kinda of an old thread but my '03 FX4 had the original Motorcraft battery in it that had the little red floaty in the "window" and finally just disappeared all together for a few months. Truck started getting hard to start and I noticed the speedo would be jumping around when I would be at a stoplight in drive. Other weird electrical things happened too. I replaced the aging battery and all is fine now.

I am having this problem on my 2.3l rwd ranger right after I got an alignment...
I have to check it out tonight.. I'm annoyed to say the least.
It ONLY does it when it's in Drive and I am stopped... when I am moving the speedometer doesn't bounce at all... perfectly fine.
I ALSO hear some type of an interferance noise almost like static but it sounds like something is happening an up and down high pitched noise. Never heard this before nor had this issue until Monday. thought it might be the battery... probably going to change the speed sensor on the rear diff housing and check the wires.... Could they have done something with an alignment? Or is this just luck? Truck is an 01' and has 135k miles on it.
