Fridge bass noises driving me mad - need better alternative quick.

Please help me Houzz, I'm in fridge hell. I bought a Samsung RS21DCNS and the sound it emits is like a car idling outside, from a distance, and up close a very deep rumble mixing with vibrations. It's intolerable to be around and the bass rumble can be heard from the next room. I need to solve this quickly - is there an inexpensive fridge that you know for sure doesn't put out such an oppressive humming? Especially those of you who are sensitive to bass humming from fridges? I don't want to have to keep returning fridges, and I'm concerned that even fridges considered quiet might still have this damn bass hum. Thanks.

    Consider putting it on an anti vibration mat (commonly used for washing machines)

    In my experience all fridges make a noise as they have a motor.

    Jonathan: thanks, I have considered that but this fridge is being taken away anyway and I can't afford to keep returning them.


    Sonia: True, my old Maytag fridge/freezer was fairly noisy at times, it's just the bass hum that drives me mad.

    As Jonathan indicated, you need to do something about the vibration. This is what’s causing the low frequencies (‘bass’).

    Is it sitting on a wooden floor?

    Have you contacted the manufacturer about it? It shouldn’t really produce a loud hum.
