Yes. usually within the compressor, and not much you can do.
Goes clunk when the compressor turns off. Part of the
personality of the house.

I live under a walnut tree, it sounds like hand grenades
being thrown at a Quonset, or a field shelter in Vietnam.
I'm not a vet; good thing. I'd be psychiatric over the
personality of my place.

Little brick bungalow in midwest US, built in 1954. Mostly
original
stuff. Floor-boards creak a good bit. I'm alone here.

Every night, in bed, I hear a CLUNK from the direction of
the kitchen.
Often a second one, not too long after the first. I've heard
it while in
the dining room as well. Never while I was in the kitchen.

I orignally figgered it was in the studs or rafters,
possibly
where they attach to the forced-air ductwork. If so, I may
never
find the cause.

Fridge is an Amana built around 1984. Has given very good
service.

It sometimes sounds like it is coming from the fridge, but I
can't
tell for sure. Do they CLUNK when the compressor shuts off?

Any other ideas?

Thx,
Willie
