Default Thompson GE 46GW947 RP TV, no power, squeaks

According to the original owner, the tv turned off while she was
watching it. Then when she plugged it in, it would make a 'click'.
When I got it from her, I plugged it in and I found the noise wasn't
a click, but a sort of chirp or squeek. It happens in about 1-2
second intervals and continues for a short time after the TV is
unplugged. I'm not sure what it is, because I know of a number of
components that can make this noise or cause another component to
make it. I know the noise isn't coming from the speakers, which I did
get to initialize, and there are no visible arcs inside the machine. I
read somewhere else that it could be the High Voltage splitter. Any
input would be grateful. Thanks.
