Fridge was delivered yesterday. It seems very loud compared to my last fridge. We can hear it in the living room 25 feet away. Is this normal? null

Question

Vinny · Accepted Answer

We just bought this refrigerator and I don't think it's all that loud. It does have a different sound than our last fridge which was 17 YO but is probably about just as loud as that was; we do hear it running and it is not completely silent. When you close the door and it starts up the fan to cool it does seem to be a little noisier then when just running. When it makes ice it is a little loud (ice crashing and water filling) but same as with our last fridge.

Hello. I have owned this refrigerator for about a month. The noises I hear are related to the ice making unit and are not bothersome at all, and only sporadic as the ice is dumped or stirred. I do not hear any other noises.

The ice maker is loud dropping ice but I love the sound of ice! :-) Initially I thought the same thing but 2 weeks later I don't notice the louder operation. My home is plaster and absorbs noise well!
