Any ideas?

The CRT shield must be grounded to the main board. If not, the charge will accumulate and discharge making the "tok" sound. Disconnect the speaker. If still persists - then it's the discharge. Otherwise the problem mentioned by Repair-Bas.
If there is a discharge, simply run the monitor in the dark, you will see it. One more thing - whenever you plan to probe anything inside, always work with just one hand.
I finally took the time to disassemble the monitor
Indeed after disconnecting the speakers, the ticking sound is gone.
@Repair-Bas:
So if I understand correctlty from your document I should desolder the audio and TTL boards, check/reflow all soldering and put them back?
Do I need to check any specific components too?
