Sounds like a loose capacitor. Wack the monitor on the side, you might convince
it to stop, just like you wack a kid who whines to much. My old 1080 whines
from time to time, and a good beating sometimes straightens it up. This type of
problem usually happens long after the monitor has been put in service. With
time and heat, a certain capacitor is likely to loosen up and start vibrating
at 15KHz. Rather annoying to people with normal hearing, but totally harmless
to foot-loose teenagers. :-)
