Some things to look for.
1: Make sure that you field supply is not grounded to the same ground as 
the VFD. I.E the 24v Filed supply must be floating.
2: All cables must be screened where possible.
3: Screen must only be connected at the source and and to one single 
place to the physical earth of the box as well as the mains earth.
4: Earth must only be connected at one single point (star connection)

I had a similar problem with my lathe and found in the end that my 
spindle motor cage was not physical earth and caused huge noise.
