Why is my new refrigerator loud?
Loud noises coming from the back of the unit could indicate an issue with the defrost timer, condenser fan, or compressor. If the loud refrigerator noise is coming from the inside of your appliance, the failing part is probably the evaporator fan, which circulates air through the freezer and fridge.

If your Frigidaire refrigerator makes noise that sounds like a squeal or chirp, a defective evaporator fan motor could be the cause.

Modern fridges are usually between 32 and 47 decibels. Anything below 40 is considered a “quiet” model and will be marketed as such. So 45 is perfectly within the normal/expected noise level. If you measure 45 dB in your living zone, it is rather high.
