If the noise is a rattle/vibration it's probably just the condenser tube vibrating in sympathy with the compressor, look at the back and when it's making a noise place your hand on the 'grid' at the rear. If this stops the noise then look for a point where its contacing another part of the body/ tubing or something and give it a SLIGHT twist to break the contact points. This should cure it.
Done this many times, esp. on new fridges and freezers.

OOOKEEDOKEEE! Here's the scoop. Your Fridge has a compressor motor. That's how it recycles and uses the refrigerant. This motor is in a sealed case and is flooded with oil. If there isn't enough oil in the unit, the motor gets noticeably louder. If the oil level is just right, then the noise will be intermittent like what you hear now. Call a technician or add oil to it yourself if you're apt enough. Good Luck!

My fridge was also making a lot of noise so I moved it away from the wall and found that a lot of papers and leaflets had fallen behind it. Once I cleared all this away, it was fine! Hope this helps!

As previous answers state - it's the motor.
If the motor is running constantly then either your temperature is set too low, the thermostat is faulty or you have a leak (probably around the door seal).
The motor running excessively will shorten the life of your fridge considerably so it's well worth investigating further...

I think you are describing that resonating noise they can make when they are not level on the floor. Try pressing on the front as though you wanted to just about lift the front feet off the floor and if that makes it quiter you need some thin stuff to pack up one of the front feet until it stays quiet. You might want to turn up the thermostat to keep it running until you get it sorted but don't forget to put it back to its usual setting.

The freon compressor is run by an electric motor that is cycled by a thermostat switch, the mounts for either motor/compressor could be loosening or wearing out/ pests also might get in there and gum things up causing a shorts in the motor fan

Its the motor vibrating. Try standing the fridge on a square of thick cardboard or similar the stop the vibration

Not knowing what make it is and not wanting to breech copy-write? I would say you have just got a noisy fridge.
I can however say that if the room temp is high the fridge will do it's best to keep to the temp it is programed for.
