Works to power LED bulbs but high noise

If you are considering this product for my use case and there are many variables keep this in mind as it may work better for other uses. I bought this to power an LED strip with a USB battery. When I was at full brightness the unit turned off so I used a dimmer to lower the intensity and it powered the light just fine (forgivably the other boost converter I have does the same at 12V). The main problem I had was that this device produced a piercing high frequency noise that I couldn't get around. For comparison, I also ended up at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074R7FDCR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It has a switch to allow 9V or 12V which worked better for the bulbs I had. The light appears to be running around 9.6V (even though the LED says it's 12V) and this step can't handle that without making high noise. I didn't originally want the voltage switching step to be increased to make it easier. , but this feature proved critical to my LED performance situation. Hope this helps someone else save time :) LED lights I power: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087CY5WDB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
