I get (maybe) something like that from mine. Intermittent chirping, reminds me 
of audio clipping. I've had it while watching football, or on PBS. I've even 
heard the same sound, though, on a friend's SD TV on the same channel using 
the same cable service. My FE/BE is a cheapo box, 2 years old running 24/7. 
Might just be cheap components drifting off spec as they age. I've just filed 
it under "I dunno."
