Why is my Kia Soul making a strange noise when I turn on the AC?

I have been noticing a strange noise coming from my Kia Soul whenever I turn on the AC. It sounded like a clicking or rattling noise. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing this issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The clicking or rattling noise you are hearing could be due to a faulty AC compressor. It is important to get this issue checked by a certified mechanic as soon as possible.

There may be an issue with the AC belt or pulley. It would be best to get it checked by a professional to avoid any further damage to your vehicle.

One possibility is that the AC condenser or evaporator may be clogged. This could be causing the noise you are hearing. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.
