TOP 12 quietest refrigerators according to customer reviews

When choosing a refrigerator for a home, first of all, attention is paid to its capacity, dimensions and energy consumption. For the hostess, the interior equipment and the ergonomic arrangement of the shelves are of no less importance. If the family has small children or the refrigerator will be installed in the studio (room), then special attention should be paid to the noise level. So, if you are puzzled by the question of how to choose a silent refrigerator, then you have come to the right place. We've ranked the quietest refrigerators in 2019 based on customer reviews!

How is the refrigerator arranged and what is the noise in it?

1. As you know, in the refrigerator, the main "worker" is the refrigerant - freon. First, it goes into a gaseous state in the evaporator and absorbs heat, and then, under the action of high pressure, it is pumped into the condenser by the compressor and gives off heat, cooling and turning into a liquid. The compressor in the refrigerator is the main source of noise, it is he who pumps out the freon vapor from the evaporator to the condenser. Therefore, it is worthwhile in the store to clarify how noisy this or that model of the refrigerator that you like will be.
2. In addition to the compressor, the freon itself, flowing from a gaseous state to a liquid and vice versa, also emits a little noise. Experienced consultants in hardware stores advise, after purchasing and installing the refrigerator, to let it settle - so that the air bubbles that form during shaking can settle and burst. Otherwise, you risk hearing a whole symphony of gurgling, gurgling and other sounds.
3. Also, absolutely all refrigerators are equipped with a relay that controls the operation of the compressor. Occasionally, you will hear a slight clicking sound when the relay switches and starts or stops the compressor.
4. If your refrigerator is equipped with system No Frost or it provides the ability to remove unpleasant odors from the chamber - this means that the device has a fan. And this means that he also makes noise during work. If you have a studio apartment or a refrigerator is not far from the bedroom - think about what is more important to you - a restful sleep or the absence of the need to occasionally defrost your "cold" assistant? Of course, our top list also includes the quietest refrigerators with a “no frost” system, but you must understand that they still make more noise during operation.

Advice:

If the noise level is one of the defining criteria for you, pay attention to the models with two compressors. Due to the fact that they have to work on a smaller volume, they also make less noise, although they turn on more often.
