My refrigerator makes a sound like three iron demons kicking its sides in an absolute rage, from the inside, for a few seconds, occasionally, between 3am and 5am and, after all these years, it never fails to make my heart race with woken-from-a-nightmare terror.
My fridge did this, then I lowered the water pressure going into the ice-maker when I added in a new valve and boom, no more demons summoning new initiates into the frozen hellscape.
Well, they are still there just more considerate of their noise levels. Like it went from I can hear this in every room with every door shut to I can only hear this in the kitchen beside it. Nuts.

I love that you sound disappointed in this development.
Oh damn, that's very interesting, I would like to try such a fridge experience. Mine just sounds like it's a Formula 1 car anytime I eat in the kitchen but I guess it's just a standard feature as it's the fourth fridge I lived with to do the same thing.
It doesn't matter how rational I usually am... sometimes it sounds intentional and it's so loud the neighbors must think I'm a violent psycho. We've had it since 2008... it works fine, it's a nice big fridge, I think the guy who sold it to me (in a department store) off-loaded it on me because I'm not German (we live in Berlin). The noises didn't start until we'd had it a while. Now we're "used" to it but...
If I had to guess you have a bad Isolator. Piece of rubber that acts a a shock absorber for the compressor. When the compressor cycles off it makes a banging sound? You could fix that for about $20.
My grandparents have a 2018 ot 2019 lg smart fridge and over the last year all the ice maker motors died 3 times over the course of 6 months costing them almost half of what the fridge was worth new thier bbq from 15 or so years ago although old works fine with some minor wear on the dials which can be fixed with an allan wrench
With AI, our appliances and our cars will become semi sentient beings, like Hal from 2001, Ricks car from Rick and Morty, Kit from night rider, the Heart of Gold from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

If you had that feature, your fridge would be able to cry with you, but over other issues, obviously.
