Does the air condition blow cold air?

Yes, the A/C work perfect, the only problem is the sound or noise when it is working (compressor)

Hmm... Sounds like it might be the pulley on the compressor but I'm not positive. Hard to diagnose this online

Start cheap and easy. Check your belt deflection on the belt. Make sure your not checking the power steering belt but the one below it. Then, check your cabin air filter, when is the last time it's been changed. You have to get under the hood and try to pinpoint where the noise is coming from. Watch and make sure the AC clutch engages properly when turned on and off and that the compressor is doing what it's supposed to be. Like I said hard to diagnose online

it might just be a bearing going out in the compressor or maybe the little clutch in the compressor going out.
