My fridge-freezer makes a bubbling sound, is that normal?

"Modern fridge-freezers make use of an environmentally friendly cooling agent. During the cooling process this substance turns into a gas, which can cause a bubbling and/or hissing sound. This is perfectly normal."

My refrigerator periodically makes a loud tapping noise, like a hammer hitting a nail, in a sequence of about 20 metronome-like taps. Do you know what happens? Should I worry?
