ac compressor issue

So i drove to visit my mom who lives 1.5hrs away from me. After i got to the house i pulled my car into the garage and i started hearing a noise. I thought i was getting a flat but once i traced it I found the compressor was making a whistling/leaking type noise. I never noticed this before but i usually never park in a garage.

Anyone experience this. I did a quick search and didnt turn up anything.

I checked back after an hour and the noise stoped. Ac is still blowing cold. Not sure if this is normal or not but i have never experienced anything like this in other hondas i have owned.

thanks in advance for any insight.

The refrigerant makes lots of interesting noises. Try listening to your fridge sometime. Don't worry about it unless it stops cooling.

im using the lennox AC compressor 10acc-036-230-02 and works very fine to me. on your case, you can go back to the dealer and ask them for some recommendation. there might be a warranty for that.
