Noise Level

When they are in operation wine coolers emit a loud, soft hum. The compressor is the primary source of this noise, which powers the heat/cold cycle in a wine refrigerator. The compressor is typically mounted on silicone or rubber base, which reduces vibrations. However it does not prevent noise from being generated.

In addition to the compressor noise, wine refrigerators may generate additional noises that are triggered by a number of other components within the appliance. Electric fans are responsible to stabilize and circulate the temperature within the cabinet as well as stopping the formation of frost. These fans can make annoying, high-pitched sounds when they are not functioning correctly. This is especially true if the fan has become filthy or is blocked by objects like labels that are caught in the spinning mechanism.
