What is causing my Volkswagen ID.3 to make a strange noise when I turn on the AC?

I bought my Volkswagen ID.3 a few months ago and recently noticed that when I turn on the AC, there is a strange noise coming from the engine. It almost sounds like a whirring sound. Any ideas on what could be causing this and if it's something to be concerned about?

It's possible that the AC compressor is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. I would suggest taking your car to a Volkswagen dealership and having them run diagnostics on the AC system to confirm the issue.

Another possibility could be that there is a loose belt or other component in the AC system causing the noise. I would recommend having a mechanic take a look to see if any repairs or adjustments need to be made.

In some cases, the noise could be caused by a build-up of debris or dirt in the AC system. Try cleaning or replacing the air filter to see if that makes a difference. If not, it's best to have a professional inspect the system.
