noisy refrigerator fan

The dang fan for the refrigerator on our 16'CCD was annoyingly loud! Loud! Like a buzzing bug you can't get rid of. It was screwed onto the thin and cheap luan plywood under the kitchen counter (accessible from the outside) which just acted as a sound board amplifying the noise. I moved the fan to the inside of the upper outside access panel. I put disconnects on the wires to the fan, drilled holes (ouch) in the access panel and bolted it on with rubber spacers, hoping that would help on the vibration. Soooo much better but still noisy. Does anybody have any suggestion for better vibration dampeners? Newkid64 suggested a 24 volt fan at 2X rpm (bigger fan, slower speed, same cooling?) but I couldn't come up with one on a Google search. Where do I get one?
