So I have had my I Mac for about a year now I rarely ever use it it just sits on my desk cuz I like the way it looks. But for some reason when I turn it off it make a sizzling sound for about five seconds I don't know if its something to do with the CRT or want if you know please tell me.

You were born after the year 2000, right? 
This noise is totally normal for a CRT, as are many others, as long as it doesn't make any hissing noises
As for your specific noise, as a kid I used to touch the glas after turning the CRT off and I imagined the current running through my body I think it is unloading some parts of the tube and that makes noise (I mean why not, everything old makes noises so you hear when it's working)
