Is there a ceramic capacitor or inductor on the board that could be
singing? Are you completely sure it is coming from the motor?

Could you try positioning a pickup coil connected to an oscilloscope
near the motor or as a current sense on one of the windings?

I think it is microstepping and the output is class D or what ever.
