Are antique refrigerators noisy?

A couple hours ago, I plugged in a GE Monitor Top refrigerator (ca. 1930). It seems loud, like something in the compressor is rattling.

I had a contractor take a look at it, and he said that the fridge should work fine. (The cord coming out of the top of the compressor shouldn't be visible like that, but he says it's just an aesthetic issue.)

Does anyone else have an antique fridge that they could give me their own experience on?

    I grew up with one like this in our house. That was 40 years ago. It worked great, but when it kicked on, we definitely knew it. If we were watching TV one of us kids had to get up and turn up the volume. (We were the remote control back in those days).
