High`pitched whistle:

This noise occurs principally in cookware which consists of layers of different materials when it is used at the highest heat setting and on two elements next to each other. This whistling disappears or becomes quieter when the power is turned down.

DFan noise:

The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably. The cooktop is therefore fitted with a fan which runs at various speeds

according		to the		temperature detected. The fan may
also	countinue		to	run	even after the	cooktop	has
been	switched		off	if	the temperature	it detects	is still
too	high.

The sounds described are a normal part of induction technology and do not indicate a defect.
