AC Help... Making a funny noise

I have a 1999 SD F350 4x4 Cew Cab - 98K Miles on the v10. I have noticed over the last month or so that my AC has been making a funny noise when the compressor kicks on. It's getting progressively worse. When ever the compressor clicks on there is a sound like a blow off valve for a turbo. The AC still works, but the noise is really annoying and the compressor is kicking on every 40 - 60 seconds making this noise.

It's like a loud pop and then a shreek, only last a fraction of a second. It's distinctly different from the standard compressor "click".

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Compressor is going out. It will progressively get worse until the compressor seizes and destroys the belt. Get it replaced.
