Sometimes it helps to pull out the fridge from the badly- (nor even not-at-all-) ventilated cabinet where it's running hot to get the noise level down.
But yeah, I`ve unplugged a fair share of these things upon going to sleep.
ive been disturbed far more by barking dogs in nearby hotel rooms than I ever have by cycling refrigerators.
And i can't imagine shutting off the a/c at any time of year. I put the fan on Constant/ON. It's a pretty good mark for outside noise, plus- I just like my room cold year round. But I hate the units that don't allow the Constant On fan so that it cycles off and on all night.
I have an an app called "Ambiance" that can play all kinds of background noise--babbling brook, gentle rain on the roof, staticky white noise, and dozens of others. I play this through a small Bluetooth speaker. It totally covers anything short of the hotel fire alarm. And barking dogs.
