Just purchased a True TBB-3G back bar unit from a restaurant supply company to convert to a kegerator. This was - shame on me - purchased sight unseen as I wasn't able to get down there, but the price was too good for me to say no to ($400 delivered!)
The unit just showed up, I let it sit for 12 hours or so for any oils thrown up in transit to settle back down, and plugged it in. Ho-lee-crap! The thing sounded like a dump truck. It's been running for about an hour now, and sounds like a fully laden washing machine on spin cycle. I'm typing this from the living room, and it's currently in the garage about 20 feet and two walls away, and I can hear it pretty clearly. (No TV on) Here's a video, and honestly doesn't really convey how loud this thing is:
It does seem to be chilling down nicely, though.
Any thoughts on this? If this is how it is (and have worked in bars, this definitely sounds louder than normal) then I might be in trouble since the wife has already commented on it being too loud.
