That horrible high-pitched noise is the flyback transformer, and those of us with sensitive ears really hate it.
Here are a couple of things you can try: go to your display properties (right click in the middle of the desktop, select 'properties' and go to the right hand tab) and see what your monitor settings are. You should find an 'advanced' tab, and a place where you can set the refresh rate on your monitor. Set it no higher than 70 or 72Hz. That might cure your noise problem. Don't set it lower than 70 hz, though- lower than that and you'll see a noticeable flicker.
The only other thing I can suggest is replacing your CRT monitor with a nice LCD flat panel. No noise, no flicker. I really like them.
Good luck!

My monitor was doing the same thing and I found out that I had a shake light flash light that was setting close to my monitor. The light has a very strong magnet inside of it. Once I moved the shake light flashlight the monitor hasn't ever had a problem since

That is the sound of one of the cathode ray tubes in your monitor vibrating. This is typically a sign that either the tube is going bad, the tube is loose, or your cooling fan on the inside (if your monitor has one, it should) is not cooling correctly or at all.
Most of the time, you need to look at replacing the monitor, because the tube is probably going out.

The best bet is buying a new monitor, preferrably an LCD one.
Or, you can try lowering your monitor refresh rate, although this might not help, depending on your situation. To do this in Windows XP, go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Display -> Settings -> Advanced -> Monitor. Lower your screen refresh rate there.

If that sound gives you headache, perhaps the insulation on the flyback is failing and a ray is shocking in the flyback shield. You should change your monitor inmediatly!!

A lot of times air will get trapped in the pipes which will mean that they need to be bled this occurs with all gas furnaces and they need to be bled once a year when you first turn on the furnace. call your service rep and have him check the all moving parts and to check the pipes to make sure that no air is trapped inside.

Flick it, hit it on the side, turn it off and on. It works for me, but iof it's to no avail.. Buy a new one.
