Refrigerator noise


Seriously guys, how do you deal with it? My fridge is in the vicinity of my living room with all my equipment. It's pretty old machine, and the compressor is making noise almost half the time it's on ( seems to me pretty unusual, when I go to see my friends I never hear anything). I even set the level lower, but to no avail. Anybody with a similar problem? How can you check noise of a new fridge in a fairly loud environment of big store? Any recommendation (brand names)? No ice boxes please... :-)

How does the RF remote work? I'm assuming I plug it into a power outlet and plug the fridge power cord into it. And then I can turn on/off the fridge with a remote?
I better not forget to turn it back on :-)

BTW I meant the hood from a child’s winter coat. Unplug the refrigerator and place it over the compressor. Get some silver metal tape, tape it to the compressor or use straps and make sure it is snug but not overly tight. This is similar to the cover some people put on their water heaters to keep costs lower, just a lot smaller. Silver tape is heat resistant and should not peal off like duct or other types of tape will because of the heat from the compressor. You will be surprised at how well this works and it will not hurt the compressor either. I added one to my mother in-law’s outside a/c compressor because of a neighbor’s complaint of the noise level at night.

Blindjim is correct: there are only about 5 makers of residential refrigerators. Just the names are been changed to protect the innocent.
