The pan is definitely the problem! I have found that none of the Tramontina Tri-ply base cookware makes noise. No noise at all! It has a 1/4 inch very flat base added and is only on the Tri-ply pans. They make other pan types but if you see that added bottom they will be silent. Even the non stick has no noise. It's lightweight so I don't think the weight of pans is the problem it's how much magnetic hold the pan has at its base. I have the Thermador cooktop and have gone through several pans from Amazon. These are wonderful. I hear if you can get the ones made in Brazil they are supposed to be better quality but I doubt it will affect the induction magnetic bottoms but I haven't tried the ones made in China.
