Would you mind sharing how noisy this freezer is if you know? I'm considering this as a bedroom freezer. Thanks!

Mine has a very quiet but high pitched whine when the compressor is on. But nobody else seems to have this problem, so either my freezer is unique in this or I'm way oversensitive to noise.

Hi,I purchased this freezer for my daughter who used it in her dorm. It worked beautifully and was silent. I now have the freezer stored in my home and use it occasionally. Still works like a charm with no noise. I would recommend it. Thanks.

We didn't notice whether it was noisy because we kept it outside while camping. Sorry I can't tell you more.

It's not very noisy if you just use water. If you add ice, it is a little noisy at first. There is no air outlet to the outside.

Sorry my comment was too short. The Fan comes on when its cooling but is quiet, no more noisy than a normal fridge. It has to work very hard here in the summer as it is in my garage and I live in south Texas and the item hasn't given any problems and as I said earlier is still quiet. Hope that this helps Andy C.

This is a great little refrigerator. Your question made me stop and think. I don't remember ever noticing any noise from it at all. It certainly isn't loud. I think you'd be ok in a dorm room.

The machine is pretty quiet - I had it set up on a kitchen counter and is was not a problem, noise wise!

Mine is a different sounding fridge, but not really louder, I believe it is mostly fan noise not compressor noise. But ... make sure that you have at least 2" of air gap in the back. It is such a big unit it is tempting to push it back as far as you can. The better air flow you have over the back the less sound you hear.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

Mine is still working just fine, with light to medium use throughout the week. When the ice maker starts it makes a soft motor sound, which is caused by its pump, and once the ice tray is filled this noise stops. Sometimes, you can also hear a louder sound, made by a cooling fan. This unit is not the most silent on the planet but mine still works. Hope this helps.

I bought the machine because it is absolutely quiet. The hot is in fact hot and the cold is cold. Most coolers make too much noise when the compressor cycles off and on. Does not happen with this unit.

We have this in our bedroom. Yes, the fridge's compressor does make some noise, but not enough to bother us when we sleep.

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

Hi, Mine is noisy but no more so than any other bread maker. This is my third over a period of several years and I like this one the best so far.

It isn't silent, but by no means would I describe it as noisy. Just a low hum. Have it in my small bedroom and no problem...and I don't like noise. Energy wise the only time my bill goes up is during air conditioning weather. I live in NY. I am going to buy another one for my other bedroom I like it that much.

pretty loud. It is crushing ice so that has to be taken into account. I'd say normal conversation can't be heard over it if you are running it in the kitchen around an island or something.

I'm not the best person to answer this question. Our fridge is an extra kept in the garage and haven't really noticed a noise but since it isn't in a quiet place in the house I'm not sure.

I have a unit which makes a noise like a normal fan would make. It does not make loud unexpected noise. There is a compressor unit in it like the one freeze and that has its own noise Apart from that I am not sure what kind of noise you are getting. Thanks

I have the 140 in my kitchen and it is not noisy at all. The only noise it makes is when it's pumping water into the heating chamber and it's not enough to even think about. I love mine it's bullet proof.
