Default VFD squeal

I'm trying to reduce noise on my water bin dump water pump...

I installed a VFD this morning. Had to remove it immediately because the
pump motor got a new high pitch squeal. Anybody know why a VFD would do
that? More importantly, how could you stop it?

So, aside from the noise did it work better? In other words, are you
half way there?
