Does everyone agree that this refrigerator is noisier than normal as some have stated in reviews or are these just isolated cases?

Check out Consumer Reports. They also said this is a great rerigerator except for the noise. The noise kept it from being the number one pick. BTW, we just got our new Samsung french door counter depth rerigerator. It is "Whisper" quiet. You have to actually listen to tell if it is running.

There is very little noise with my unit when the fan isn't running. And the only times so far that the fans have kicked in were when I had it hooked to my TV as an external display. Don't get me wrong, the fans are far from silent when they do kick in, but with fairly normal use, they usually don't.

I have it in my kitchen on the counter. I do not find it to be too loud it does make some noise. It doesn't bother me in the least. If you are looking for ultra quiet something you won't notice this isn't it. However, it does perform wonderfully and the ice it "clear"

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.

Mine is quiet but it depends on which setting you use. If it's on the lowest and is still very loud then there is an issue.

The noise isn't that bad actually. I usually have a problem with noise but I have been happy with my wine cooler.

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.

Yes. It's small and sounds like a regular refrigerator, not super quiet like a SubZero but not at all loud. I use mine as an only refrigerator (one person household). My dog did was afraid of the old one, she went through about 4 screens last summer.... She's OK with this one.

My experience, and most others by their reviews, is that the Waste King 9930 is a relatively quiet appliance. Please examine its mounting as a source of your noise.

I have the newest model just delivered today. Nowhere near as noisy as the units in the videos. However mine is sitting on a concrete floor and not on wood.

It does run periodically and make some noise. It is on par with the fridge in terms of loudness, I think. I was, and maybe still am a bit, bothered by the noise and thought about putting it in a different room (it is in the kitchen). So, actually, the noise is the one thing I have NOT liked about it, but I am not sure if it is enough noise to bother YOU. My husband is NOT bothered by the noise. That answer might be very unhelpful, sorry.

We deployed this unit out to a client so its not something that I have daily interaction with. However, I don't recall it being something that stood out to me or if I even noticed any fan noise at all. I know that isn't a great deal of useful information but wanted to get a response back to you.

I would say that the unit is fairly quiet. If anything, my fridge is louder than the RO unit. The only time you hear any noise is when the tank refills. Even then, it's just an occasional sound or two of the excess water draining down your pipes.

There is always going to be some noise from a thermoelectric cooler, but I recently had a few days of loud noise from the fan. Opened up the back and could not find anything loose. Eventually the fan noise went away in over the span of a week or two. Will be monitoring.

We have not had trouble with noise. I am particular about this so I can tell you it is quiet! Our finished basement is approximately 1000 square feet. We can watch Tv, play games without really noticing the machine. Ours runs continuously. I do have to empty it more often than our last machine but maybe this one is just better at removing moisture? Our basement stays at a comfortable humidity level. (<50%)

Hi, I'm going to say it is not normal, I have two and neither one makes any noise opening. Also think about all the doors you've opened, they shouldn't make abnormal noises. It should be covered by warranty, good luck, Larry

Mine is actually very quiet. I had another model that was extremely noisy, so I am very happy with this model.
