Default AC engine bay noise. See video,.

2001 Accord. i4.

So for some reason my AC started making this noise. Im not entirely sure where it is coming from and why. Maybe someone can shed some light.

Noises are tough to diagnose even with video. Watch the a/c compressor clutch. The clutch is a round plate on the outside of the a/c compressor pulley. When the a/c compressor turns on, this plate will spin with the pulley. When the a/c is off, it will not spin. You may need a flashlight to see it easier. Let us know if the noise starts when the clutch engages.

That fluid on the back of that pulley is silicone. The pulley needs to be replaced. That may or may not fix your problem. But that pulley will soon be a problem for sure
