Could be a capacitor going bad. Maybe even the flyback transformer developing a crack in it's case and starting to leak high voltage.

How about a monitor with a power switch that ticks when voltage is applied, but then the sound goes away when it's actually turned on?

Switching power supply is on its last legs, budget for replacement soon.
