A:Answer Hi Daytona,
Thanks for your interest. Samsung's Digital Inverter Compressor in the RF28JBEDBSG is designed to run both quietly and efficiently. The motor may be more audible when running at higher RPMs during high demand periods (such as when the doors are opened frequently), but when there's less traffic in the refrigerator and freezer, the compressor doesn't need to work as hard and runs quietly at lower RPMs. To help minimize noise, be sure it's leveled correctly so the doors can seal properly.
