Mach Buffet

A question regarding high speed mach buffet. I know that it is a function of the speed of the airflow over the wing, and not the speed of the aircraft.
What I'm not sure of is the indications of this buffet in the cockpit.
In heavy high altitude flight below MMO, with either a gust load or high bank angle applied, what will the indications be?
I know that the aircraft might shudder.
Will you get the stick shaker like a low speed buffet?
What mechanical devices warn of high speed buffet?

Thanks
