Unhappy Humming noise when A/C is on

Hey guys, i'm having an annoying problem with my CL (i just hope is nothing too serious)

Whenever i turn my a/c on, i hear a low humming noise only when the radiator fans start spinning (weird thing is the noise doesn't seem to come from the fans)
but if my a/c is off, i have no humming, even if the fans are spinning.

What could it be? a/c recharge? compressor about to go?

any thoughts would really help

thanx

just start the car and go to this general area and wiggle hoses around with your fingers, if the pitch changes then thats the problem.
