We just bought a new refrigerator; the number of noises it makes are amazing, all considered "normal". The manufacturer went to the trouble of posting YouTube videos to demonstrate this, and keep you from complaining. Ours makes one noise that certainly couldn't be normal, a "gong" sound like a ball-peen hammer hitting a large bell, every time the compressor cycles. Repairman came out and listened, said they all do that now, the new "normal". He blames it on the replacement of experienced engineers with recent college grads who've never owned a refrigerator before.
