RE: Noisy Refrigerator: Possible Solution?

My two systems are in the basement of our house, and the auxiliary/TV rig has the unfortunate location of being directly UNDER the fridge. Because we don't have very much clearance above and around the fridge, putting isolators of some sort under it has proved impossible. So you can imagine the kinds of vibration I get in that location when the motor is running. But because I really don't listen critically to that system, it's not a deal-breaker. If the fridge were above my reference rig, THAT would be a major problem that would piss me off to no end.

When I want to watch a Blu-Ray or do something in the second system that requires my full attention, I turn the fridge off. My wife would kill me if she knew I did it, but you guys aren't telling, right? :)

If you have clearance above and around your refrigerator, I suggest taking some of the advice in this thread with regards to damping. It certainly can't hurt, I think. If all else fails, just turn the bloody thing off while you're doing critical listening. I wrote a permanent note telling myself to turn the fridge back on, so when I turn it off, I just put that note out on my desk to remind me.

This is a public service announcement . . . WITH GUITARS!!!
