The switching frequency affects the output ripple of a DC/DC converter and the inductor current ripple. The higher the switching frequency, the smaller the resulting ripple, but switching losses tend to be greater, so that there is a trade-off with efficiency and heat. The noise is mainly the spectral noise occurring at multiples of the switching frequency, but lower frequencies result in lower levels of noise in the high-frequency range.
