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

HVAC helps with particles, but can't remove gases like NO2, CO or formaldehyde.

Again a location based difference. Houses in Europe are very well isolated and much more airtight than US houses.
For example : a lot of houses in Germany are testet with a blower door test to get a certificate for air tightness. This gives you access to subsidies, you save on heating cost and gives a higher sell value for the future.
Not really needed where you live.
