    That is the sound of impending doom with any electronic device. A high pitched whine means a capacitor is going to blow soon.

    Get your monitor serviced.

    He can't hear you. The capacitor went boom, and his ears are damaged.

    It could be non-serious: Capacitor whine.
    It could be serious: Flyback transformer.

    Loudness will determine which.

    It could also depend on the OPers age. Many young people can 'hear' the harmless variations in an electromagnetic field. Annoying, but nothing really wrong with the monitor.

    If you can hear it and your mother can't, then it's surely just electromagnetic variance. It's not hurting anything, and cannot be fixed, especially since any technician you bring it to likely wont be able to tell that it's there.

    You're 'ability' to hear it should start to fade sometime in your twenties :/
