Quiet refrigerators?

Can anyone recommend any particularly quiet refrigerators brands/models?

I have an older refrigerator that makes an excessive amount of noise. Even at it's quietest, it's noticeable when I'm listening to music. I've tried cleaning the coils, but only had limited success reducing the noise. There's also no real way for me to get any more distance between my stereo and refrigerator.

Preferably under $1000, since that would cut substantially into my audio budget. :-)

Thanks for any help!

It's called an "Ice Box", or "Ice Chest"! Prior to ice delivery, keeping meats, dairy, & vegtables in a Cellar was also Very Silent, & Very Affordable!:0)~

Thanks for all the info, definitely helpful! I will post any additional information I end up with.

The ice box idea is really high-end. I like that it does not dry out the foods like a refrigerator does. Yuck. Ice boxes are also the only way to go it one is into Sushi.

I am a dummy. I subscribe to Consumer Reports on line. Never thought to examine Sub Zero's dismal record.

Mknowles16 I wouldn't freely offer Ozfly the chance to call you dumb? Ask "Valleyplastic" about his Viking built-in refridgerator, his story would make for a Television mini-series!
