I've had this fridge for about 4 months now. I live in a studio so any noise this puppy makes I can hear. At first, I did notice everything but after a week, the noise blended into the background. I actually had a guest stay recently who pointed out to me that the fridge doesn't quiet down until late in the evening. Like I said, I don't even notice it anymore. I do wish there was an additional drawer, like the a crisper drawer or something because cheeses (which I have many of) just float around on the racks. I'm sure there are attachments you can purchase but I probably won't get around investing in one. Overall, good buy for the price. I'm a satisfied customer.

P.S. Freezer works perfectly. :)
