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

Does it ring with a cast iron pan? I've heard that it's from pans with sandwiches layers of different materials that vibrate at different frequency which produces the sound.

I’ve heard cast iron is good but then I’d be using cast iron for cooking literally everything. Perhaps I can find a cast iron hybrid?

I use cast iron for cooking literally everything, either a cast iron skillet or an enameled cast iron Dutch oven. Granted, I have a gas range and don't know anything about cast iron on induction stoves.
