Hey there, and thanks for submitting your feedback on this top-freezer refrigerator. While we’re thrilled the size of the model is a good fit for your needs, we genuinely hate to hear you have a concern over the noise made by the refrigerator. We know a louder than expected noise may be inconvenient.

Newer model refrigerators may sound a bit different than the older models you might be used to; added features and technology can cause different sounds, including whirring, popping, humming, etc. If it might be useful for you, we have a list of expected sounds from the model on page 19 of the manual, listed here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-1000478-2.pdf .

We create our appliances using durable, quality materials; they are built to last, and we are confident this refrigerator will serve you well for a long time to come. Your feedback regarding the noise will be sent to our Refrigerator Design team for future review. We value your insights, as we always like to know about any consumer concerns and possible areas of improvement.

If you have any other concerns or inquiries, we are glad to help any time. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA
