click when starting or
stopping the compressor.

sounds like an electric clock

cool the refrigerator and the
freezer compartment and
sounds like air blowing or a
whirring sound.
The flow of refrigerant
through the freezer cooling
coil makes a gurgling noise.
Water dropping on the defrost
heater causes a hissing or
