These noises are completely normal in a refrigerator:
• The "clack" of the thermostat when the motor cuts in and out.
• The refrigerant gas may produce bubbling when circulating round the circuits
• The compressor may make buzzing and / or tapping noises, which are more
noticeable when it starts up.
• The "clack" is caused by the expansion and contraction of the materials used.
• The insulation used amplifies the noise levels.
• If your refrigerator has a fan, you will hear a buzz caused by the air circulating round
the inside of the refrigerator.
