Just got an induction stove. Sound level depends on the power setting and the pot/pan, and maybe even on the stove manufacturer.

I’ve never heard a “squeal”, but there is a faint “buzz-click” as the power cycles in the coils. If you need high power the buzz is slightly louder and steady, if low power it’s fainter but you get the “click” of the relays as it cycles. Some cookware seems to make the buzz a little louder.

Overall IMO it’s not loud, and the sounds of cooking pretty much drown it out - boiling, searing, whatever.

I’ve cooked with all three (gas, electric, induction) and while a good gas stove is still my favorite, induction IMO is really the best of both worlds. I absolutely would not go back to standard electric after using induction.
