Default Do old fridge's go CLUNK ?

Sleep in the kitchen, with your head resting on the fridge
compressor?

Fridge compressor is a good place to start.

I can't find the origin of the CLUNK. All evidence is
inconclusive. I'll
keep looking, but ...

Responses are, however, much appreciated.

Thanks,
Willie

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
