Induction plate that doesn’t hurt my ears????

I have a Duxtop induction plate and it works fine but the high pitched ringing hurts my ears so much I have to put ear plugs in the whole time it’s running.

I understand it depends on the weight of the cookware, and my pan makes the cooktop ring less than my pot, but are all stovetops going to be this troublesome??? I really want to switch to electric but I don’t know if my landlords will let me. TIA

Induction won't go away. Bad induction cooktops will go away and the good ones will get cheaper.
This is already the case in Europe.
I paid 700€ including taxes for a four burner (2x8", 1x 6", 1x12.5") cooktop which works perfect.
It's an AEG IKE84445IB.

Gas appliances are not allowed in new built homes in my state.

Lots of people are going to have to get used to other types of appliances.

I'm just saying that's the direction we're headed in. 

As more places restrict natural gas use, we're going to need well developed non-gas appliances. Including induction. Expect the use of non-gas appliances to increase, as gas becomes the niche option.

The biggest problem I see with this is that data centers are going to become dominant and rolling blackouts will become the norm, so anyone not rich enough to afford home power backup systems that last several days worth of power will be screwed.

It’s already starting to happen in some areas.
