Sound insulation for under stairs cupboard

[Deleted User]

Hello,

I have a built in fridge / freezer in my kitchen which makes normal noises and it backs onto a wall in the living room + under-stairs cupboard, and I've noticed the cupboard acts as a big drum for sound vibrations. If I leave the under stairs cupboard door open the low reverb noise goes away. If I close it then you can hear a low reverb noise in the living room whilst the fridge kicks in and cools food / does whatever it does periodically.

Is there anything I can put in the cupboard which would absorb the noise travelling through the connecting wall?

The connecting wall to the kitchen has a fuse box / alarm box etc so I suppose doesn't easily lend itself well to placing a layer over it, I guess I could try and cut around those objects if this was the only option. The opposite wall in the cupboard is sloped upwards for the stairs. Floor is carpet.

I bought some of these and stuck them to one side of an old TV stand box, stood it up against the wall, but it's made no difference.

Welcome suggestions, thank you!

Is the fridge making contact with the wall ?
If so, move it away a little and also try putting some resilient rubber mats underneath - You can get some that are designed to cut down on noise transmission, but you may have to hunt for them from an industrial supplier.

Does pressing on the door make a difference? If so a more secure latch may stop the noise.
