Thanks for all the replies! I do not know too much about repairing electronics but I just wanted to make sure this is not a safety hazard or something that can be easily fixed. Now that I think about it, the sound is more like a snapping noise. It doesn't happen every time I turn it on. I was gone for a few days this weekend and came back and was greeted with a very loud snap when I turned my TV on. I have included a picture if that helps. Thanks
