On some models when you open the door the door switch also turns off the evaporator blower motor. If the fan is hitting something while the door is closed you will hera the noise, and it will stop when you open the door.

SOURCE: FREEZER SOUNDS VERY NOISY

Fridge problem could be the fan is bad or that it is hitting ice. When the noise is kind of a buzzing like it is hitting ice...defrost your unit by unplugging and waiting a day or so for full melt out...then check your door gaskets for cleanliness and good seal.

Thanks.

SOURCE: Noise from fridge when doors are closed.

There is a good chance this is the culprit.

Servicing the Evaporator Fan

In some cases, a faulty thermostat may not be the cause of a warm refrigerator or freezer. A warm box may also be caused by a defective fan, a blocked fan, or broken or bent fan blades. If the blades are jammed, try to free them. If they're bent, straighten them with pliers. If this doesn't solve the problem, call a professional service person.

On some refrigerators, the door switch operates the evaporator fan. If the fan seems to be malfunctioning, the door switch could be faulty. Test the switch as detailed in the last page, and replace it if necessary.

Good Luck! Buddy777

SOURCE: Our LG bottom freezer refridgerator is 2 years

Sounds like a fan motor inside the machine is failing.
I don't know where you live but in our area, LG has denied anyone but an LG dealer parts. You can check that out but you might use that as a guideline. It's sad here since we can't get parts we don't bother running calls and have little experience with their machines.

Refridgerator has started making a noise. It stops when I open the refridgerator door and then starts again when I close the door.

It's your evaporator fan that is either hitting frost build up or bearing in motor is bad. If blade is hitting frost, you may have a defrost circuitry problem or door gasket problem

Our LG bottom freezer refridgerator is 2 years old. It is making a whirring noise that stops when the door is opened. It can get pretty loud at times.

The whirring sound is the fan that blows cold air into the refrigerator. It is supposed to stop when the door is opened. If it is making a loud noise there may be ice built up in the fan housing. Turning the power to the refrigerator off for a 2-4 hours may allow any ice in the fan to melt. If you do not open the freezer during that time the frozen food will not defrost.If the noise continues, you may have to take the fan apart to make sure it is not frozen. It is probably located behind the back inside panel of the freezer.

Fridge makes a fairly loud humming noise when I close the door

it sounds like your refridgerator might be unlevel try adjusting the legs all the way down to start then level to floor if that doesnt fix it its probably the rubber gromet under the compressor usually there is four of them if one comes out(usually after moving it makes your compressor vibrate you can use almost any gromet of of any junk refrigerator or if you want you can by original replacement parts at one of your local appliance dealer
