noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor
switches on.

through the pipes.
Click ... Clicking sounds are made when the thermostat switches the
motor on and off.
Sssrrrrr ... On multi-zone and frost-free appliances you can sometimes
just hear the movement of the fan inside the appliance.
On appliances with a water tank a buzzing sound can be
