AC noise
Hey,
I noticed that when I turn on AC it makes a metallic "whoosh" sound, that sound also repeats itself sometimes when I get on boost at around ~4000 rpms, but that doesn't happen often.
is that normal, or its dealer time?
'05 wrx, 1110 miles.
cheers

well the best way i can describe it:
when AC is turned on via the button - it makes a slight "woosh" sound, and there is a little jerk (very slight).
it then works normally and virtually silent depending on fan levels UNTIL you get on boost rapidly at about ~3000 rpm where it sometimes makes the "woosh" thing again. it does really sound like a small turbo.

hmm, mine makes an odd vrrrrvrrrvrrr type sound/vibration at idle 
. If I have it idleing, I can feel a vibration in the accelerator whenever the AC compressor kicks on (along with hearing the noise). I am not concerned since if it is not normal, it will be covered under warranty- I just want to be sure before I mod it- don't need the warranty hassles. It is not a "typical" AC compressor sound, but this is also my first subaru, so it may be normal for them . Thanks.
