My step-up converter makes audible noise both with and without a load.I am almost certain it is the inductor, because when I hold my finger on it I can feel vibration and it gets quieter. Unfortunately, I do not own an oscilloscope and cannot inspect what is going wrong. Here is the schematic: ![Image alt text](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/LF546bwSNq2gHBdikPqFmEje)

All the capacitors are ceramic, inductor is [FXL0530-100-M](https://lcsc.com/product-detail/Power-Inductors_cjiang-Changjiang-Microelectronics-Tech-FXL0530-100-M_C177248.html), and the converter datasheet can be found [here ](http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/MIC2288-Data-Sheet-DS20006034C.pdf). On page 14, FIGURE 6-8 the recommended values are shown. Only thing I have changed are resistor values to match my output voltage, but this is a minor change. I read about audible issues with converters, and one of the points mentioned was that picking an IC with a higher switching frequency can help, but this particular one is at 1MHz, well above the one mentioned in the article I read. 

What could be the reasons for this humming noise, and how could they be mitigated?
