Eureka Boss?
I'm surprised it was that bad. I have one and really like mine. I couldn't say it is anywhere near quiet, but it's not that loud and especially isn't high pitched. Mine cleans very well as long as the belt is good.
My red Kenmore Progressive TOL canister with the telescoping wand I bought in 2012 seemed cheap as far as the cable. Granted I did buy it as a return at Sears for $95, but the cable in the wand broke after only a few times of adjusting it. Fortunately it was under warranty so I got it fixed for free, but I don't bother to extend the wand anymore because I was afraid it will break again.

Eureka Boss
Yes, the Eureka boss upright in black, with fabric bag, and I believe no attachments, circa approximately 2000-2002 was just horrible...it was not high pitched, but instead just really, really loud. I think some people are more sensitive to certain tones than others too which may have something to do with it but in this case, I had to turn the thing off to talk to anyone while vacuuming as we couldn’t hear each other even when shouting over the thing. Maybe post a picture of yours and I’ll tell you if it’s the same one. I know apEureka used « the boss » name on several models so you may have a better not so loud version.
