From another thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8856829 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8856829 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8857209 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8857209 I see that this screen has alternating black and white lines. I count 43 black lines on my monitor. Assuming 60 Hz refresh rate, that is 2580 Hz in terms of the pixels being off or on, which is a perfectly audible frequency. Even with 120 Hz refresh rate, that would be 5160 which is still easily audible. Without knowing anything else, I guess that there may be a capacitor somewhere that is charging and discharging along with the brightness of the screen as it is refreshed from top to bottom, which is causing it to flex in a way that produces an audible noise.
