Hi, for this Whirlpool - 16.0 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator - Monochromatic Stainless Steel noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this reduction in operating noise, you may notice unfamiliar noises that are normal. Following are some normal sounds with an explanation: ■ Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker ■ Clicking/Snapping - valves opening or closing ■ Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize performance ■ Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator ■ Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during defrost cycle ■ Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially during initial cool-down ■ Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan ■ Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the ice maker mold
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I'm sensitive to noise too and this refrigerator is much quieter than my previous one. I've heard that the top freezers are a better choice if you want a quiet one.
