I'd use a stethoscope and listen to the compressor since it only spins when the A/C is on and the clutch area may be making the noise?

Could certainly be the compressor itself, its noticeable enough to hear inside or outside of the car from a distance.

For now im running the AC as much as possible for an actual problem to arise hopefully the AC goes completely out that way it motivates me to actually drop the cash for a new AC. But until then it manages to pump cool air in the car with a very annoying sound.

Time will tell and I will upload and post update once I have one. I also have a problematic second child (E90) that owns the other half of my wallet

Thanks for any help and educated guesses
