A/C compressor whine?

Quick question:
Does anyone notice a small whine coming from the A/C compressor? I caught ear of it the other morning when I was putting the trash on the street and the truck was running. It's definitely the A/C because when you cut it off the noise goes away.

Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced/dealt with/found problems due to this.

Happy Friday!

Mine seems to make the same whining sound as yours usually on startup and will quit after a few miles. Hopefully someone will share some info on this. BTW mine is a 05 5.4 with 82K.

yep. mine does this also. compressor whine for bout 5 min or so then fades away till the next cold start.

wonder if it has something to do with being on bottom of motor allowing more dirt to come in contact with it?
