Motors. Car motors. Truck motors. Furnace and air conditioning motors. Fan motors. Lawn mower motors. Fridge motors. I can’t understand how people are happy with the constant hum of motors all day, every day.
It’s all noise pollution. The sounds of nature has been eradicated and replaced by the drone of motors.
The refrigerator in my apartment makes the loudest, stupidest groaning noises. It’s not actually the motor, it’s air pockets in the refrigerant, but It honestly sounds like it’s haunted by a cartoon ghost, and it makes the sound CONSTANTLY when the compressor is running.
My landlord refuses to acknowledge the problem, and says as long as it’s keeping things cold (which it is), then it’s fine. It’s not even an old fridge, it’s probably only 5 or 6 years old (which honestly might be the problem, old fridges last forever)
I even tried to live the no-fridge life and had it unplugged for a couple months, but along with that being hellaciously inconvenient, and my energy bill not actually going down at all, I’ve just continued to live with this stupid ghost-fridge. I’ve gotten really good at opening it for the least possible amount of time and cleaned all the coils and condensers and everything to minimize the time the compressor is running. It’s taken me ~4 years but I am ALMOST at the point where I don’t notice it.
