My fridge is a frost-free Amana (freezer on top) and I hardly ever notice it
running. The only noise I hear is occasionally from the ice-maker.
Although, my freezer is too crammed with stuff for the icemaker to function
properly at the moment. The 12 yo Whirlpool it replaced, made enough noise
that you could hear it ALL over the house! LOL! So, I think anything is
quieter than the fridge that was wearing out!
