Hello, I just recently bought a brand new mini-fridge and I couldn't help but notice an audible whooshing sound (like something that's flowing).

For context, when I first got it, I test-ran it for less than 3-4 minutes then unplugged it just to make sure it's functional, then I left it for the next 24 hours to let it settle. The whooshing sound was there on the very first few minutes of runtime.

Right now, when the compressor kicks in, the whooshing sound is there and I'm quite concerned about it, it sounds exactly like this:

However, it cools pretty well and the compressor only runs for like 2 minutes then shuts off. Should I still be concerned of any damage?
