Quiet a Shrieking Monitor

Old CRT monitors have this tendency to produce a shrill high pitched sound as then age. Try this tip and save yourself from the noise.

The problem is mostly caused by a vibrating flyback transformer. In this case, you just need to set up your display settings again. The easy fix is to increase the refresh rate at which the monitor is operating. This might require you to lower the resolution.

  • Go to Start > Control Panel > Display Settings and click the settings tab.
  • Then click on the "Advanced" button. Under the 'Monitor' tab, select a refresh rate higher than 72 hz.
  • Typically, refresh rates that are higher than 72 Hz give a better display experience and may reduce eye strain.
An alternate fix is to perform "percussive maintenece". give the monitor a good, solid whack on ths side. This will stop the vibration, albert temporarily.
