In it's most basic form, a monitor is a laser shot through two sets of magnets.
Sometimes when it gets shut off, the magnets make a clunk sound.
In the big one here there's something that sounds like a capacitor stack and solenoid.(that's how it sounds at least)
I haven't opened it up to look, for obvious reasons, but I'd say that you're hearing the magnets.
I've shut off my monitor by it's nbutton, and by the power strip leading to both puter and monitor.
Doesn't seem to matter, monitor still makes it's 'zoo-ort!' sound.

OH ok... Al's has been making that noise for a few months, but it never did before.. I just wondered if it could be going bad.. Thanks sweety...

I was also curious about shuting it down all the time too.. I know some people who don't shut it down all the time.. With the button I mean.
