    Hello all, I recently just bought a 2019 TRD off-road Tacoma. Love the truck but every couple of seconds I am hearing a slight noise while the AC is on. I’ve read a post where someone described it as a “darth Vader breathing noise”. It’s not very loud and only happens when the AC is on. Is this normal? I appreciate the help!

    My 2018 does it too followed by a white mist that comes out of the vents. For me, it means the ac is too cold and I turn it off.

    That or the infamous whistle sometimes when the compressor turns on. Both of my Tacoma’s do it. 2nd and 3rd Gen’s.
