Normal operating conditions.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.
HUMMM...
WHOOSH...

The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and
longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.

You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.

You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This
happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the
doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of
food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments.
The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.

The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energy savings.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and SNAPS

You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the
refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.

Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.

On models with an ice maker, after an ice making cycle,
you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.

On models with a dispenser, during water dispense, you
may hear the water lines move at initial dispense and after
dispenser button is released.
WATER SOUNDS

The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may make
a gurgling noise like boiling water.

Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling,
popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.

A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle
as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain
pan.

Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to
pressure equalization.
Do you hear what I hear? These conditions are normal.
