@POTUS Trump - "Today, it's my honor to be taking a very historic action to substantially lower costs for consumers, protect hundreds of thousands of jobs, and save Americans well over $2B a year by officially terminating the Biden Administration’s ridiculous regulations imposing costly requirements on refrigerators and air conditioners."

House was built in 1955. Electric. Does have a hot water heater in the laundry room, but that is in the back of the garage attached to the house, not made noises before, then or since.
No boiler or steam radiators. Heating and ac is all electric. I’m in Phoenix Az.
I CAN BREAK YOUR HEART===HAVE A REFRIGERATOR WITH TOP FREEZER I BOUGHT NEW IN NOV 1965 IN GARAGE...HAVE MOVED IT 6 TIMES—PAID $265 FOR IT BRAND NEW, IIRC.
WORKS GREAT....
NEPHEW WAS HERE A SUMMER AGO. HE COMMENTED ON “MY OLD REFRIGERATOR” UNTIL HE TOLD ME HOW OLD WE WAS & I TOLD HIM THE UNIT WAS 9 YEARS OLDER THAN HE WAS. I GOT A SMILE OUT OF HIM...
HAVE AN UPRIGHT FREEZER IN KITCHEN-—1972 MODEL. USE IT EVERY DAY.
I ALSO HAVE A 1976 1 TON 4 SPEED 454 CHEVY DUALLY TRUCK & A 1979 BUICK WAGON WITH 403 OLDS ENGINE.
COMBINED MILEAGE == OVER 569,000 MILES

“IF IT AIN’T BROKE-—DON’T ‘FIX IT”.
That little site is very useful.
None of the noises in the article fit what I heard though but I’m going to keep that article because it is so good to know if any of those noises occur.
Thanks :)
Sounds like it may have been a case of ‘Sympathetic Resonance’
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_resonance
Something in the refrigerator, possibly the compressor or another part of the system, induced some resonant frequency in another appliance and together they would vibrate in sync until one or the other unit stopped whatever it was doing.
Just a guess..................
Model rockets made by Vashon were propelled by freon, to give the look of liquid-fueled rockets emitting fog. The bodies were aluminum containers, not cardboard.

I like that you stay with the classics. 😊
Well, that’s something to consider. Will muse on that one a bit.
My washer weighs the clothing and determines the amount of water, which doesn’t look like enough. I get a gallon of water and douse the clothing then it weighs such that there is plenty of water. It works, try it.
Wow! That is incredible. That just proves how things were made so well in the past now you’re lucky to have it for six years. If you’re lucky it’s a shame how far gone we are as a whole.
And R-11 along with R-13 also.
As I learned from The G Man, once the patents expired, the companies wanted something more corrosive to get their patent revenue back.
Better to let R-11, R-12, and R-13, along with R-22, be made and have others make them better than the originals.
There’s a reason I loved Gordon Liddy on the radio. He understood what Derek Thomas called “truhth”.
This is where smaller guys can come in and destroy the system.
This is for commercial equipment it does nothing to help with the ban on manufacturers making more HFC refrigerants that most existing equipment need.
He didn’t remove those R134a and R410 are both still being “phased out” which means all existing equipment must be replaced when the supply of those run a dry.
Yes...Bring back R-12 & R-22 as these refrigerants worked well until someone(probably someone at the EPA) decided they harmed the atmosphere & were unsuitable. They were too cheap to buy I guess. This situation progressed since(if progress is actually regress) & now the latest refrigerant for automotive use is unbelievably expensive. By the way, it was always my understanding that the old R-12 refrigerant, when released to the atmosphere went DOWN...heavier than air. The people that caused the use of the now-available refrifrigerants probably should be taken to court for the problems they’ve caused, particularly in the cost of refrigerants. These are things I remember well, dealing with them as an auto tech during that time period.
