A/C noise

[black2019tacoma]

I am getting a growling type noise in the A/C I can only hear at Idle with fan on the lowered setting. Only comes on when compressor clutch engages and goes away when it disengages. If I throttle up a bit it goes away as well. At least I think it is...the engine may be masking the noise. Does not sound like normal A/C operation. 2019 taco only 980 miles. Yes I have a dealer appointment but was wondering if anyone else has this issue in their 3rd gen.

Haven’t heard of this before. Could be a bad bearing. Curious to see what it is. Keep us posted.

Here is the sound listen to the noise behind the Fan noise. You will here is come and go and the compressor kicks on and off.

UPDATE: The dealer said bad compressor bearing and they ordered a new compressor to be installed tomorrow!

Update #2 Dealer tells me the Compressor will be in today. I drive 40 minutes get there and they take my keys and truck to the back. Sit in the waiting room for 1 hour. Then they tell me we have problem the compressor never came in. Mind you all parts deliveries come in at 7:30am. My appointment was at 9am. WTF...maybe someone could called before I got there....apparently there is a backorder on this compressor...hmmmm I wonder why. Mine is coming from Canada. New appointment this Thursday but this time they are picking up the truck and dropping off to me. But I may just take in myself again as I don’t trust anyone driving my truck.
