New sound
Was sitting in the drive through at wallgreens and noticed she's making a new sound. Its like a wistling/chirping sound, I turned the AC off to see if that was causing it but it jept making the noise. Any ideas?
She's also idiling really low now that its getting hella hot outside, I need to adjust it somehow.

whistling sound - vac leak, alt, idler pully, water pump, ect..... try and find the location.
chirping sound - maybe exhaust heat shield hitting something or suspension is squeeking

I dont think it would be the suspension since we were sitting still, the sound seems to be coming from the passenger side if that helps at all.

haha you look under the hood or you just sit in the car and hear it on the passenger side? because there is a motor under your glove box that mihgt be making the noise.. meaning your bearing is about to take a dump in that motor.. mine make that noise too.. well actully it only make the noise when i turn on the ac or the heat.. it just a maybe... but as you stated you turn off the a/c and it still make the sound. but i dont know if you turn of the car and restart it and drive it for 5 minute without the a/c on or not.. little information can be a big thing.
shut off your car and start your car again, does it still make the sound after driving it without the a/c for 5 minute? if it does.. then it is not that motor.

oh yeah forgot to tell you,... every car.. when you turn on your a/c it feel like the car is heavy but it is normal.. like when you acclerate it feel like the car is slow and it is.. that how it is.. dont worry about it. about the bad motor under your glove box... i think that is the problem. drive it till it stop working then buy a new one and fix it. ehhehe but i need more information on your problem then just on the passenger side... there could be other things...

I cant tell where its coming from when sitting inside, I can only tell its coming from the passenger side of the engine compartment while standing in front of the car with the hood up.
