How loud is it? I mean decibels. null

My phone app registers 43dba when the compressor runs while standing one step back from the fridge. The fans I can only hear if I put my ear on the side of the fridge and listen. Mine is not in a cabinet or anything that contains sound proofing, so you may be able to get it a little lower then that with a better space. Overall I can hear the compressor slightly while in the kitchen, but do not find it bothersome or distracting. Outside of the kitchen I cannot hear it. Noise was my number 1 priority when buying a fridge. I have found the compressor does not run a whole lot. When it’s off the unit is 100% silent. Hope that helps.

This unit features LoDecibel™ Quiet Operation which, even though we do not have an exact decibel number, we do say they are around the same decibel as library noise which on average is around 40 decibels. This number can vary due to the installation as well as the home acoustics. ^CP

I don't know decibels but the refrigerator is right in back of me when I watch TV and I rarely hear it turn on. Isn't an issue when we have company. Has some funny, quirky sounds sometimes when it first goes on but they are soft and you have to listen for them. I love this refrigerator but then my old one was about 20 years old. Really like the short drawer under the crisper drawers.
