Abstract: A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes memory storing a preset frequency of the refrigerator and one or more computer programs, a communication interface communicating with a terminal device, a driving unit, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the refrigerator to receive audio information sensed by the terminal device from the terminal device through the communication interface while the refrigerator operates in a first mode, extract refrigerator noise from the audio information based on the preset frequency, acquire location information of the terminal device based on the refrigerator noise when the refrigerator noise is greater than or equal to a threshold value, and control the driving unit to operate in a second mode different from the first mode when the terminal device is identified as being within a critical distance from the refrigerator based on the location information.
