Hello, MH! Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are not pleased with the functional noise of your appliance. Did you know, with your new appliance, modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much faster than older models? The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound. These are all normal sounds and soon will become familiar to you. The sounds indicate your appliance is operating as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more noticeable. We hope this helps. Should you need further assistance, connect with us by chatting with one of our live agents Mon-Fri, 8:30 am - 8 pm EST.-Briana
