In Reply to: Anyone have a quiet refrigerator they like? posted by mbnx01 on August 11, 2012 at 18:17:26:
I have a Samsung side-by-side that I bought almost exactly a year ago. It is quiet, except when the ice maker is dropping the cubes from the tray in which it makes them, down into the ice drawer. The ice maker can be disabled with a button on the front panel. I do this before my after-dinner listening sessions and turn it back on the next morning.
The ice maker is a PITA though.
I have a PDF of a Consumer Reports test of a large number of refrigerators from last year that I could email to you if you're interested. They have noise ratings of each one. That was how I narrowed down my choices. Some people poo-poo CR, but they did give this unit their quietest rating and it is indeed quiet. I can't speak for reliability though. I was cost-constrained, as this was my first house and I had to buy all sorts of stuff - washer, dryer, furniture etc. etc.
