    There's a really obnoxious rattling sound coming from my truck when the A/C is on. I've always heard it a little bit, but I feel like recently it got way louder. Should I worry?

    It's probably just the compressor, but sometimes it gets really loud and it's almost like vibrating.

    Sound comes from the front driver side and it's not the blower motor. Is this something I should be worried about with the AC compressor or bearings, or no? It's just irritating, especially when in park.

    Turn it up!

    My AC started making a rattling sound when the compressor kicks on, but only after I bottomed out pretty hard on a run. I’ll be taking it to the shop soon. Keep you posted.
