Background Suttle Noise Can't Post

Have a Westinghouse TV. One of those cheap 19 inch jobs and it has a suttle mid to low frequency background noise that comes through audio when you turn the volume off you can still hear it coming out of the speaker. But also when I disconnect the speaker you can still hear it out the top back vents. Like a vibration. The best way I can describe it is like a quiet DC motor with plastic gears. Kind of like a low drone VERY faint and steady I notice the frequency come up slightly when I plug the antenna in from the VHS. It is not very loud and even the audio drounds it out OK but of course I hone in on it because I am like that with gear and once I detect it I can;t stop listening for it low in the mix. I would guess it is inducing into the audio but may not be a bad audio section because like I said when I disconnect the speaker you can hear somthing mechanical like a low motor or vibrating sound that is really dronish.

Any ideas? Can this be fixed?

if the noise has always been there then its probably an inherrent design fault.if it started suddenly then its a mechanical problem as you can still hear it with the speaker disconnected.if its the first then dont buy cheap stuff again.

If this is an LCD set it's probably the vibration of the flourescent tubes or the inverter board humming. Not much you can do for it.
