A/C Whistling
I just noticed this in my car.
When using the A/C, once in awhile I'll hear a low whistle. Has anyone else heard that? Can anyone determine what causes it? Belt maybe?
I have 97,600+ miles on my car, I need to get my 100K checkup.

Rep Power: 387 It freaked me out the 1st time I heard it.. I had to shut off my system to see if I can make it out. It almost as if the sound is comiung from the vents, but I can't quite figure it out. I hardly ever use my A/C too, so I'm like WTFY!

Rep Power: 811 If it sounds like it's from the vents, your filters may be clogged. How long since you changed them? I clean mine out every 10k cause it fills with dust and leaves.
imo its normal. i have like a whistle too almost like a whine when its on.. and from what i can tell its the compressor just being on. i also have 80k+ on my car. I have had that noise for as long as i can remember.
no problems here though.
as long as the a/c works and everything else seems fine.. id just let it slide....
you obviously use the a/c as much as myself, so u know the windows down is just better ne way
