The compressor sits on four rubber buffers, take a look and make sure its sitting in all of them, and not jumping around. Also look at the pipes coming from the compressor, one of them may be too close to the cabinet and knocking against it. A gentle twist will re-align things.

I think Jayktee96 is on the right track. The fact your freezer is new makes me think the compressor may still be tied down. As Jayktee stated, the compressor rests on rubber and sometimes spring vibration eliminators. The manufacturers usually tie, strap or bolt the compressor down for transport. It's not uncommon for the the installers to forget to release the compressor (I've done it several times myself). A look through your owners manual should reveal the method of releasing yours. If this doesn't help pull the freezer out where you can get a good look at whats going on when it shuts down. Carefully nudge any offending wires or freon lines (care full some of these are hot!) so they aren't touching anything. If this doesn't work, try attaching a clothes pin to any freon line that continues to rattle. Another possibility is a set of internal compressor springs that have come loose when tansporting (happens if the freezer is tipped on end or on its side). If this is the case the compressor will continue to be noisey until its premature end. RScott

Some branded freezers having clean back system(back side) make sounds even loudly audible-Godrej, etc.
Otherwise it is due to failure of relay system ( less tension). Only professional replace it and repair.

the element gets hot, the banging is the metal grill at the back shrinking.
it warms up pretty slow, so you wont hear it when its turned on.

THE COMPRESSOR MAY NEED TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. MAY BE CHEAPER TO BUY A NEW FREEZER.
