The Sony Trinitron monitors always degauss on power-up. Sometimes you can hear it, sometimes not. Actually, if you turn it off and back on again, it won't degauss -- there's a "positor" in the circuit that gets hot and cuts the coil current. It has too cool down for the coils to energize on power-up. So don't worry, your monitor's probably fine.
