The noise level of the refrigerator today is often set along with such technical characteristics of the refrigerator as power, type of defrost and the size of the cameras. How to choose the quietest refrigerator, which will also have reasonable price and parameters? To answer this question, it’s worth understanding the cause of the noise and carefully examining the market.

The importance of noise in a modern apartment
Life in an apartment building is not very calm. Either a party on the floor above, then a repair from the neighbors on the side or a quarrel from below, a dream at any night can be interrupted by extraneous noise. But even with good soundproofing or in a private house, every kitchen has a constant source of different sounds - a refrigerator. It is turned on 24 hours a day and is periodically turned on, which becomes especially noticeable in the night silence.
Reasons for Noisy Work
The most important part of the refrigerator layout is compressorwhich is driven by an electric motor. The latter does not cause such noise as the refrigerant compression process in the compressor. This is precisely the secret of the noise created by the refrigerator.
There are thermoelectric and absorption chillers, but because of the high price, they are not as widespread as double-chamber compressor refrigerators.
In addition to the compressor itself, the sources of sharp sounds during the operation of the refrigerator are:
- Bubbles of other substances in the refrigerant and condensate. They cause a characteristic gurgle when the compressor is off.
- An electric relay, including a motor with a characteristic click.
- Loose adjoining shelves or their unsuccessful design. In most cases, this problem is solved.
- Poor assembly. In this case, it will be difficult to achieve any reduction in the noise level from the refrigerator.
Rating of the quietest models of refrigerators
The main parameter that was taken into account when constructing the rating was the noise level of the refrigerator. In addition, the important parameters were the volume of storage chambers and functionality. According to reviews, you can understand whether the noise level stated in the passport really matches the real one.
Each manufacturer is working on the problem of reducing the noise level of their refrigeration equipment. This is not always possible to do without loss of performance or functionality. Often the main criterion for the absence of noise is precisely the build quality. Consider models that are the middle ground between noise and power.

Bosch or Atlas? Which to choose?
Better choose a Hotpoint, I have the refrigerator of this company, very cool)
The decent part of the ranking is occupied by Indesit .. A good indicator!)
Eric, and not from scratch! As the owner of this, I fully support that their quality is excellent
plus for Indesit!
But or he?)) But in general, what is your Hotpoint model? There are a lot of them, and it seems that all the good reviews on the Internet are hard to choose.
I think my hotpoint is very good for the silence of the work, but much better than the old Soviet ones. I like it even by filling, I'm used to it.
Here we have just such a price - Indesit DF 5200 W, and I can’t say that it has a direct quiet signal of an open door, let’s say it’s enough for me, but otherwise I completely agree with you)
I agree, also a minus to me - a quiet door signal .. I hate it when I need to place food after the store, hold the door open a little longer, and it starts yelling at the whole apartment .. So the Indesit volume is the other way round)
We took a hotpoint and for the entire time of work did not hear any special noise from him, as it was in the old refrigerator.
Virpul stands in our house, in my opinion, it works very quietly
We use an indesit of another model, a little better than in the top, actually quiet, not to say that when we dine it is generally heard especially
Whatever you say, I didn’t notice that I made noise behind my hotpoint. Maybe the whole thing is in the installation or the assembly itself.
we have a second indesit, great just. works quietly, looks modern. and when moving, they didn’t particularly worry about him, because he is durable.
it is surprising that not a single Hotpoint is available, although with a noise level of 40 bD there are a lot of them producing now.
