You need to pull the refrig. out from the wall and determine the source of the noise. It maybe comming from the "condensor fan" usually located at the bottom rear. The blade maybe rubbing against something. Eg. paper or shield around the fan. It is also possible that the noise is comming from the inside. In this case, it could be the "evaporator fan" rubbing against something. Good luck ...Jerry
If there is nothing hitting the fan blades and the fan makes a grinding noise then the fan bearing is faulty. You may be able to place a drop of oil on the bearing under the label in the center of the fan and if this does not work then you need to replace the fan.
Maybe they didnt put the anti squeek grease in there. I would take it to whoever did the inspection and tell them the problem and that it didnt do that before and they should fix it for no charge. Any reputable shop will do this so if they wont, find a new mechanic.
sometimes the fans can get dirty & collect a build up of dust etc. so using something to blow into the fan & clear any dust can sometimes help. Unfortunately if this doesn't cure it then try to drop a small amount of lubricant into the motor, usually in most cases of noisy fans the only solution is to replace it.
I normally don't work on gas dryers but it sounds like the drum rollers are in need of lubrication.
Check your drum rollers for flat spots or wear, if they have flat spots or wear on them replace them.
If the drum rollers don't have flat spots or wear on them then they probably only need lubrication. Lubricate the shaft of the rollers with a good grade of machine oil such as 3 in One oil. Reassemble the dryer, plug back in. This should solve your noise problem.

Did you in stall it your self ? if so make sure you didnt blow fuses and check the connections make sure you are getting power and if you put subs and power amp and stuff like that make sure you have enough battery power to power everything if not the car wont even turn at all cuz the juice is working on its own to start the radio. check also you didnt cut any wires while doing so and if you didnt install it your self and took it in then take it back something went wrong maybe....
PUT THE A./C OUT ARRANGE TO HAVE ALEN KEY THEN OPEN FROM THE TOP YOU WILL FIND THE MOTOR HAS TWO SHAFT ONE DRIVE THE CONDENSER FAN AND OTHER DRIVE THE INDOOR BLOWER(NOT VISIBLE UNTIL YOU OPEN A TOP PLATE )THEN TURN WITH YOU HAND YOU WILL SEE WHERE IS TOUTCHING THEN YOU PROCCED TOREPAIR OR CHANGE.
Try taking it apart again and try to turn the motor by hand. It should spin freely. If it does you've probably got a bad motor. If it is stiff or doesn't turn at all, then you might have missed something putting it back together. I wouldn't think you can overtighten the blower, it is probably something else, and with it apart it should be easy to see.
titu, can you be more specific on what kind of noise you're hearing. If it's a squealing noise I would suspect either the evaporator or condensor fan. See if you can isolate where it's coming from. Catriver..post back.
