When the noise of the fridge stops, my room (bachelor) is filled with silence, and it lasts about twenty minutes before the fridge starts working again.
I am always relieved when the noise stops.
Sometimes, I hope our manager to change this noisy fridge to a more quiet one.
But still, this is the fridge which made me realize the importance of quietness.
So, I guess, I have to give thanks to it. (It would be terrible if there is no fridge in my room too.)

Hi Saku. As usual your notes make me smile, because you have a poetic sensibility and a nice way of writing. I am taking you at your word that you want your English corrected (while I feel very humble that I don't know Japanese!)
It should be: I am always relieved when the noise stops.
Also: Sometimes, I hope our manager will change...
I kind of like the sentence that goes "the fridge which thought me the importance of quietness" but written that way it is the refrigerator that is thinking about you, not the other way around. Possible ways to write this would be :"the fridge which made me think of..." (or in present tense, "the fridge which makes me think of"), or maybe better: "made me realize" or "makes me realize".
I agree, it is funny how background noise that goes off makes you appreciate the silence.
What is more interesting to me is that, even in the most quiet places, there are little sounds.
Keep writing!
Thank you for the two corrections, jarvenpa.
I finally corrected the words as you suggested.
Sorry for this rate responding.(I had an important mid on Thursday.)
I know the little sounds too. I call them "the sound of the air."
"the sound of the air" is very poetic. Don't worry about delaying in posting or responding; I know it is hard when you are a student facing tests. I used to get very nervous in my college days before midterms and finals. I am writing this response before responding to some of your later posts--but I will do so, right now.
