I find in most cases it's actually the air compressor making the noise. Even though it's working like it should, sometimes they will make noise. You may also have a belt tensioner causing this, the added pressure of the compressor working will cause this kind of an issue as well. I would have them remove the drive belt and check the pulleys.
If you have any follow-up questions, please feel free to ask, it's part of the service. If not, thank you for taking the time to contact us today. I am hopeful you found my information helpful and had a good experience.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
Thank you.
