Absorption refrigerators have been around for approximately a century, are silent, and a little more efficient than peltiers.

I used one for a couple years as my primary fridge. It was expensive, like $2k, didn't have very good temperature control and broke after 2 years and couldn't be repaired.
So... A little better than Peltier cooling in every other dimension too.
