I never really thought about it, but I put my ear to my monitor and I heard a buzzing, it was consistent, and not hard on the ears, it wasn't a "squealing" sound that people get when their refresh is messed up.
do all monitors make a little buzzing sound?

it's not noticable if you are sitting a foot away, but if you put your ears up to the little holes on the top (try to be in a quiet room, without listening to mp3's
) you should (hopefully) hear a little buzzing sound.
I think it's the monitors refreshing sound.

Mine makes a slight sound.
(I figured I should post in Casio's defense, seeing how he loooks crazy now)

mine screeches really load, i slap it in the side & it stops for 10 so minutes, seems like the harder i hit it the longer it stops, one day i'll hit it hard enough to make it stop for good
and then i'll go get myself a nice 19" Sony or something.
BTW how long do monitors ussually last?? mines 2 years old now, and it seems to be nearing the end of its life, its a 17" ADI Viewpoint.

Should be more than 2 years thats for sure.
Mine is 2 years old and still going strong. *knocks on wood*

If it is quite enough, and you put your ear right up to the monitor enclosure, then I'm certain that all monitors would make a buzzing noise. My Acer 17in did, as did my Mag 15in and a friend's Sony 17in and Nec 21in. I don't think its anything to worry about unless it gets loud enough so that you can hear it WHILE your 10 system fans are running
Try changing your refresh rates........ Lower them or raise them... change resolution... I have a very nice VeiwSonic Flat screen... bran new out of the box will make a hissing sound at cartain res+refresh... Changeing refresh rates should solve the problem... perhaps the GFX card is set to "optimal" and is stressing the monitor.
Monitors should not make any sound.
If the frequency of the tone changes with changing refresh-rates.You are hearing the windings of the deflection yoke. Many TV recievers do this as well. Some monitors will do it a bit more than others in the same model. It has to do with how tight the windings are when the yoke was made, and also how they were bonded down to the yoke core.
When there is no signal going into the monitor the scanning drives are freerunning. There is less noise because the drive pulses are not in constant phase allowing the yoke windings to go into resonance.
If it is not the yoke, There are a number of things that can cause a whiny high-pitched sound. It is almost always due to vibration of a component in the horizontal circuits, most often the flyback transformer or horizontal output transformer. I do not recommend you attempt to fix this yourself, unless you are trained and very comfortable working with extremely high voltages.
A service technician should be able to find the offending component and either replace it, remount it, or add some material which will stop the vibration.
Good Luck

hmm... my ViewSonic a75f does make some noises after a while. that's a bad thing huh?
but usually after i change the refresh to something else, it goes away

The buzzing is from the vertical yoke (coil of wire around the picture tube neck) because a new picture is dawn 60-90 times a second. Varnishing the yoke may reduce the noise, but don't use water based varnish, and do not remove the yoke or the color alignment will be wrecked and nearly impossible to restore.
my monitor sometimes makes that annoying squeaky noise. if i pressed some force on the top it would go away.
cool, but is it a fact that all electronics "need" to be run once within 30 days?
I mean, there are a lot of monitors that aren't run for years and they don't completely spoil...
also, all that mumbo jumbo is more than I asked for... I checked out a lot of monitors and heard the little noise.
It changes with refresh rates and resolutions by frequency and how fast I hear it buzz.
