A/C compressor making clicking or ticking noise

i just noticed today when the AC compressor is running I hear the clicking/ticking sound while the compressor motor is running or spinning . It is not the the sound of clicking f when the compressor is turning on. Something loose or sound like it going bad?

The clicking/Ticking sound get more frequent as I set the AC to LOW and fan speed to MAX. I do feel very cold air came out. I have to look service manual how does the condenser and compressor work. It could be the condenser is getting on it way out? How hard is to replace the condenser and compressor or either one goes bad or both?

Here is a video with sound. The A/C compressor only make noise when the A/C is on and if the Fan is set to MAX while the A/C is on the noise is getting louder. Any idea?

Did you determine the cause of the clicking noise? I'm curious since my MDX is making a similar sound when the AC is on.
