Take the back off the TV & see if you can see any arcing.


I would. It most likely needs nothing more than cleaning out all the
gunk.


It's been a long time since I fixed my CRT TVs. But, wasn't it that the
picture expanded when the HV briefly collapsed when arcing? I can't see
this happening in the video.

I would expect the image to shrink horizontally &/or lose brightness
during arcing.


I think there is an, albeit slight, reduction in width. Whether the
brightness drops is hard to say because the colour disappears.

What I find striking is that some scan lines appear to start early, by an
amount of time that is quite consistent.

It's not clear to me whether the noise is coming out of the loudspeakers,
or directly from the interior of the TV.

Over the years many Sony sets have had an issue with bad solder connections
at the horizontal drive transformer and related parts - the drive
transistor, resistors, etc. A soon-to-be-failing horizontal circuit might
exhibit your symptoms.
