Move it outside a cabinet, let it free stand. I found out that my nice kitchen niche for the refrigerator acted like a nice resonance chamber for the frequencies the compressor generated.

If the cabinet is poorly designed (or ventilation is otherwise obstructed), it will also retain heat, making the fridge have to work harder.
