    Is this humming sound normal? Video for sound

    This often happens when the AC is on.

    When the AC is off it does not happen that much.


    As soon as you turn the AC this cycle of loud hum starts.

    The humming sound lasts for about 1 minute? then it will be gone for just a second then start again.

    What is causing this?

    The interval is also normal. Environmental conditions may cause the interval to adjust. I think I heard a rooster in the background.

    It's good to note you're paying attention to what your car is doing. Nice job!

    Yeah I am worried since it keeps turning on every 3 seconds. I am not sure if should turn on that soon after running for like 30 seconds.


    I am a car noob so I am clueless on what is really happening.
