**Should read: "....somewhere around 3 ~ 5kHz."

Very few instruments possess fundamentals that reach 5kHz. A very tiny 
number posses harmonics of significant levels that exceed 10kHz.

Turn the volume down and see if the sound is still annoying. I suspect 
you are clipping your amplifier. Clipping can generate large amounts of 
high frequency harmonic content. And, just to shut down any myths you 
may have heard: Valve amplifiers WILL clip and WILL generate excessive 
high frequency harmonics if over-driven.
