    LED noise is not due to something vibrating. Former Sound Engineer and well LEDs make noise (super quiet). My guess it is the transformer that is making the noise since a LED powered monitor is regulating the voltage of the LED as needed if it didn't do that your power use would be many times higher than with a voltage regulating transformer. Wouldn't mean anything damaging is happening at all.

      LED noise is not due to something vibrating. The definition of noise is, literally, something vibrating.

        The definition of light is also vibrating aka waves :)
