Bought a GE Profile about a year and 1/2 ago and also had noises that were more than I expected. (Note I worked for GE 40 years). Called their rep out several times and they connected a computer to a port on top of the unit. The fridge sets fault codes that the computer can read. No codes found and all was reported well. The repair man said that there were about 7 fans and that what I was hearing was a sound when all were running.
Called several more times while still under warranty, and while still insisting all was well, he installed a sound suppression kit. Apparently, GE was getting complaints and started insulating new builds and decided to supply it to units still under warranty to folks who complained. No recall unless you complain. Still louder than I prefer but better.
Moral, keep complaining while under warranty and ask whether there is any recall notice or factory repair.
