My fridge is alive...?

I've lived in my apartment for 2 years now and over a year ago my fridge started knocking when the compressor turns on/off. The knock lasts about 2 seconds or so and is loud enough for guests to think someone is knocking at the door. My apartment maintenance came to check it out and told me it was "normal" and didn't fix it. My question is, is this dangerous? what is the worst that could happen? i leave my two dogs baby-gated in the kitchen all day while i'm work and i worry about it. Should i make a bigger deal and have the office fix it or get me a new fridge??? It cools fine and there are no other problems. fridge is probably 5 or 6 years old. has an ice maker but i dont use it.

Thanks

    Make sure the fridge is level and that all four feet are putting pressure on the floor.

    well, you can always pay a repair man yourself to come out and evaluate the situation, and if he feels it should be replaced or is a danger, than you can charge the apartment company for the amount you had to pay and make them fix it. Just make sure you document everything. And ask them again first to check it out and get a written statement that it is not a danger and is working just fine. Then get your professional opinion.
