With a sound level of around 32 - 47 decibels, it is normal for your Samsung refrigerator to make different noises when operating. For ice maker models, buzzing sounds may occur when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker. Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing sounds may occur.
Below is a list of the sort of noises you should expect from your fridge.

When starting or ending an operation, the refrigerator may make sounds similar to a car engine igniting. As the operation stabilises, the sounds will decrease.
While the fan is operating, these sounds may occur. When the refrigerator reaches its goal temperature, no fan sound will occur.
During a defrost cycle, water may drip on the defrost heater, causing sizzling sounds.
As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes, causing bubbling sounds.
As the refrigerator temperature increases or decreases, plastic parts contract and expand, creating knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or when electronic parts are working.
This sound occurs as a warning to let you know that the door has been left open. Close the door to cease.
This sound could indicate that your fridge is coming in contact with another object, or the contents within your fridge are coming in contact each other.
Please ensure that your fridge is levelled, and that there is enough space around your fridge.
