Does your refrigerator occasionally make a bubbling noise (like the sound of coffee percolating)?

It's a compact refrigerator and it's new and I was afraid that transporting home on it's side (rather than vertically) might have caused a problem, but after seeing in the manual that bubbling was normal I quit worrying about it. :)
Chances are that is a frost free and it goes through a cycle in the freezer cleaning out the frost and it has a evaporator built in near the floor where the frost (water) is run through a heated catch pan and this evaporates the water making a noise somewhat like that.

Mine makes a bubbling noise and the product manual says it's normal (even though this is the first refrigerator I've had that made such a noise).
Yes ours does- it's old but still does the job.
Ours makes a muffled mooing sound, rather like how a cow sounds from a distance.
No, but then my fridge isn't broken(.)
Does it have an icemaker or water dispenser attached?
No.

It IS a frost-free. I bet you hit the nail on the head! Thanks! :)
If it still does that in ten years--it was nothing to worry about--;)
No but sometimes it talks to me - when I pass it, for instance late at night, it says "Oh come and indulge on some lovely food from me"...
