    Default Intermittent Whistling when AC or Heat is on

    I get a shrill whistle , but it only seems to occur when the AC or Heat is on. I have searched the forum, and did not see this issue before. The other posts mentioned noise when in park, but My issue occurs when driving. Any Ideas?

    I was getting screeching/squealing noises in a similar situation and it turned out to be the blower motor (bearings failing). I replaced the motor and no more noise.

    Does the sound go away a few seconds after turning the fan off?

    I don't think it is the blower as I have this same issue. It is NOT coming from the compressor, but seems to only be pesent when the compressor engages.
    It is only audible from inside the cabin.

    If it has **** or tires, you are going to have problems.
