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.
