I have heard a lot worse.
10 year old fridge,---maybe a weak compressor struggling.
It's nothing to worry about.
I've got a Zanussi fridge (with a small freezer compartment) which I bought in 1996 which is still working fine. If it had lasted ten years before failing, I'd have considered that a pretty good innings compared with how long most things last (or for technology items, are still powerful enough).
I know it can't go on forever, and indeed, I could probably save money in a few years by replacing it with a more efficient modern version, but as the thermometer I have in it says it still maintains 2-3C and the compressor only runs a small fraction of the time, it is difficult to justify replacing.
If every appliance lasted 18 years, a lot less would go into landfill. And a lot of companies would go out of business.
but it wasn't like that before.. its only recently its got noisy
I found the part online at espares and replaced it and now it's as quiet as the day I bought it.
Take all the shelves out when it's making the noise and get your head inside and see if you can figure out where exactly it's coming from. MIne had a fake back inside that came off with a couple of screws to reveal the fan.
