Normal Sounds Your new icemaker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.  Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line, Items stored on top of the icemaker can also make noises.  The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or highpitched sound.  Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.  As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your icemaker.  You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.  During the harvest cycle, you may hear the of ice cubes falling into the ice storing bin.
