Quietest Refrigator ?

We are looking for a new refrigator, it is close to where I sit in my listening room. The one I have now was the quietest when purchased the last year freon was used, but it is still heard when the compressor cycles on.
Anyone research this?...I'm sure there are others like myself in the same situtation.

Get one of those antique oak ones where you have to replace the ice daily. You won't even hear the ice melting!

I found out that the quietest refrigerator is that one that's not in the room. I bought a new one recently after starting a crazy thread on the subject, only to realize that you regular $600 fridge is just as noisy now and they used to be 20 years ago, sad but true. Had to move it to the next room, needless to say, I have no wife to speak of...

May not be the best alternative, but you can probably just turn the fridge off when you are listening to music. It will not hurt to have it off for a few hours, as long as you are not continually opening the fridge door while it is off. I have had my fridge down a number of times for as long as 6 hours due to a power black out and there were no harmful effects to the fridge or the food inside.
