Hi,

Oh no, how large is your apartment. Sounds like the fridge is in the
center, or it is a small room.

I don't doubt it.

There's the motor.

Good.

Background levels should be 0.15 mG or less. I have trouble with 1.0 mG
myself.

Affecting your nervous system perhaps.
Is it like tinitus? or something more physical?

No.
Shielding fabrics only block RF. Not magnetic.
The only way to block magnetic is with Mu-Metal. It is the specific rare
metals in layers that accomplish the blocking, so there is no way to
make it into a fabric.

Need a different apartment. It is sad the only way to feel better is to
move. At least you're only renting, right?
Sounds similar to the first travel trailer I bought in 1995. Traded it
in, after about 2 months. Tough learning curve.
