Quite possibly the sound that you are hearing is your monitor switching modes.
I have heard this sound many times, especially on multi-sync monitors.
Maybe I am wrong, but I hear this sound every day when I boot into MDK 9.0
and my monitor is 5 years old and has not blown up yet...
Anyone else hear this noise?
Hope it helps.

this email, literally anything, and you get that Thungggg sound from the
monitor,
john,
i agree with stephen about 'energy savings issue' and i am wondering just what
you mean by monitor making a 'thungggg' sound.
most color monitors have a degaussing coil around front outer edge of crt.
most,
when _first_ powered on, will make such a sound. it is caused by magnetic
field
attracting metal screen dot mask and metal shielding around crt. _normally_,
there is no degaussing after power is first applied.
could this possible be sound you are referring to? if so, then you may be
having
a power supply problem with your monitor.
you could test this theory by placing a compass against monitor at outer edge
and noting needle swing. first try it when monitor is first powered on, leave
compass in place and wait for monitor to go blank again and watch needle.
a far out test, but it may well help you locate problem.
and, yes. i just check my monitor to see for sure that compass needle would
swing. and, no, it does not swing afer monitor has been on and comes out of
energy save mode.
good luck.
peace out.
tc,hago.
