Hello Luckydawg, thank you for choosing Frigidaire for your appliance needs. I understand that you are experiencing some concerns with the sounds your new refrigerator is making. Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound. The noise should disappear as the refrigerator continues to run and balance pressures. –Hope this helps! Kindly, Jennifer

Hiya, Sue D! I want to personally thank you for reviewing and rating our Frigidaire Top Freezer Refrigerator. Your rating is greatly appreciated and fundamental in improving our quality and design. I understand you are experiencing loud sounds with your new fridge; your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become familiar to you. The sounds indicate your appliance is operating as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more noticeable. Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound. If the sound becomes louder, please contact us directly. Thanks again, for being part of the Frigidaire Brand family! –Regards, Derrick
