I havent been able to reproduce it yet, but I know 100% for sure that I had this squeal also on desktop, which is also a pure 2D enviroment. The noise changed with the color displayed on the screen I remember. Window closed: Black desktop backgroud visible and no noise, opening an explorer window (white background filling the screen) the noise was there. Now If I only could get this reproduced.

Maybe you could make music in a graphics program with alternating colour bands


I have something like that on my CRT which would make an annoying noise at certain specific refresh frequencies. I've also seen old systems where the whole image would get moving waves in it it it became too bright.
