Wierd noises

I have a 2000 Ranger XLT with a 4.0 V6 engine and when I turn on my a/c or my vent to the floor/face mix I get a really odd knocking noise. I was wondering if that noise is normal?

"Knocking noise" can mean a bunch of different stuff... Like, knocking noise coming from the vents? Might want to check and see if you have something stuck in the vent blower. Knocking from the A/C compressor probably means it's about to go dead, unless the knocking noise you're describing is the compressor clutch cycling.

The knocking noise sounds more like something is trying to turn on. It just sounds unusually loud, in my point of view. Maybe its just me.
