stated to learn stick welding and trying out the used welder I got for a fair price so I started with 6010. The 6010 is a Hobart E6010 but it's whistling like crazy, is that normal?

The tool room on one of my last jobs had a portable gas powered inverter machine, it had a tiny two stroke engine on it so it was already noisy, but the electronics noise was horrible, a high pitched squeal that started as soon as you struck an arc, annoying and it overpowered the engine noise.
