My Dell Trinitron monitor for my computer (about 8 years old) periodically makes a high pitched sound. If you adjust the monitor (up or down) the noise will stop. What causes this? Can it be fixed?

The cord that connects the computer monitor to the computer. Most of them are blue. At the end of the cable that connects to the computer, there are these pins/needles. 3 rows of 5 pins/needles.

If a there is one pin/needle missing, could a pin/needle from a different monitor(different brand too) be put in place of it?
