Topic explains it all.
I want a fridge in my room for cold drinks, and maybe sandwich stuff, gotta be damn near 0db though, if not, gotta have a nice sound character.
I'm sure SOMEONE here has had this situation come up
Silent Mini Fridge?

gotta be damn near 0db"
I use minis as they take a lot less power, but none are zero db. You must try to listen to them in a store. A propane unit is an inexpensive option for an economical running and silent solution, but they are expensive to purchase. However, if you are handy with a few tools you can get one from a wrecked recreational vehicle. You must know what you are doing.

Compared to cooling with a compressor, absorption cooling is very inefficient.
I don't know how much the fuel costs, but it sounds wasteful to just burn propane in order to cool a fridge (but I've never used a propane fueled fridge).
The fridges I've seen use somewhere between 0.5 (mini fridge) and 1.5 gallons a week.
