Default A/C clutch or pressure relief valve

I'm inexperienced in A/C systems. I have a new Si and hear a sound cycling off and on when running the A/C. Almost sounds like something bleeding air off, possibly a relief valve? I'm sure it's normal, but more of an annoyance. Happens every 15-30 seconds and lasts a few seconds each time. Anyone familiar with this sound? Anyway to quiet the sound? Insulation? Thanks...

Default Re: A/C clutch or pressure relief valve - NEW INFO

Apparently it's the expansion valve making this hissing sound. Anyone know where it's located and if it's easily accessible. Wanted to see if there's a way to insulate it or deaden the sound.
