I have experienced the same thing, but it seems to be individual to 
specific Mac II's.  It's sort of a dull hum upon power up.  I thought
it was a poorly supported monitor that had a vibration buzz, but now
I think you might be right...it *is* the same sound as the degausser.

On Sony's own color monitor, the degausser activates with each power-
up.  Maybe this happens after time as an added 'feature' of the Sony's
version of the monitor for Apple.  :-)
