If I have my A/C or defrost on, you can feel when the compressor kicks over, which is normal in most cars, but what isn't normal is the sound.

It chirps really loudly when it kicks over, sounding somewhat like the dreaded "crickets", except that it's just a quick "CHIRP" and then goes away until the next time it cycles over. You can hear the chirp in the car while driving when the compressor kicks over, and it's even more noticeable when stopped.

Anyone else experiencing this? I doubt it's normal, and I only have 28k on my car.

Mine does not make any sound beyond the standard "click" as it starts up. Certainly not a "chirp" though.

Small car with blower inches away and the compressor almost in your lap will make for a noisy system.
