We had a larger fridge that was 15 years older than this one and it was silent. Was surprised that this smaller newer product was much louder (hum and vibration).  The compressor is so loud on this and vibrates so much that part of the noise pollution comes from the glass bottles in the fridge vibrating on the shelves.  And the shelves are made with hard plastic and items light enough can vibrate on it as well.    The fingerprints are  new to us and we will try the special cleaner for stainless.   And the ice maker is crazy loud as well.  Never new our other fridge was such a whisper.  Also, one of the shelves is sitting on top of the fridge because there is a lack of enough slots to reposition it for us.      I do like the pantry door.
