My monitor is making screeching / whistling noise. I tilt the monitor back and forwards and it stops. Then I move it back into its original position and it carrys on making a racket. Its giving me ear ache. Does any one know how I can fix this.
Thanks

check the cabels, maybe the when it's in its original position the wire gets stuck underneath the monitor.
And separate the wires. Don't have messy computer wires

Hi sjb,
And now, for the real answer. Honestly, I believe you are hearing a cooling fan squeal ! And monitors almost never have a fan.
Question... is the monitor sitting on the computers case? If it is, its probably compressing the case, and causing its fan to bind up and screech. (The computer itself can have 1, 2, or more cooling fans.)
If the monitor is not on the case and just sitting on a table or desk, then I'm not shure what to think. In 26 years of repairing and using computers; I've never heard a monitor make that noise.

Sometimes monitors can make a screeching sound if the screen refresh rate is set too high.
In WinXP, RIGHT click on the desktop, select Properties, then Settings, then Advanced, then Monitor. Check the refresh rate, about 75hertz is normally good enough to ensure a flicker free display without screeching, but it all depends on your monitor. Maybe it's just had it!

In short you monitor is getting old. It will continue to make that noise for another year or so before it totaly craps out. You can try hitting it on the side to stop the sound, that sometimes works. Best bet is to look into upgrading to a better monitor. I suggest an LCD monitor.

It sounds like something is about to blow in the monitor - possibly a capacitor. But I am no expert in that - as stated earlier get a new one or bring it to a repair shop.

Usually caused by insulation breakdown in the EHT transformer windings or one of the other smaller transformers in that section.
Can be caused by oscillation in the time-base generator circuit too. Whatever, it may die on you, (when you need it most!)
This noise is quite common from EHT circuits and many televisons 'whistle' often inherent in the design but by no means uncommon especially to anyone who has worked on these things.

Sounds like you have a loose connection inside the unit.
