Yeah, I'm also sensitive to flyback transformer noise. For PAL systems (625 lines 25fps) the frequency is 15.625KHz which for some people is virtually inaudible.

I was helping test drive a preproduction model of a car a few years ago and could hear something similar, presumably from the display. Very irritating, especially on a long drive.
