Air Condition question

Hey you guys,
Just wondering if you guys are irritated with the noise of the a/c. I have a 06' TSX auto w/nav and I feel like it's just as loud as my 94' Accord. Is this noise common? Just wondering. Thanks!!!

Your hearing must be very sensitive. My hearing is very sensitive as well. It does get a bit loud for me as well sometimes, even at 2, that it bothers me and I shut it off. I tend to hear unnecessary things.

I try to protect my hearing...I don't play music loud. I haven't heard anything wrong with the a/c...2 and below is pleasant and not so noticeable. 3 and above is somewhat loud only because it's moving tons of air

No...not the air blowing through the vents. I believe it's the fan turning off and on. I only hear this when using the a/c not heater. Is that normal? Or should I have it taken look at?

no noise - although in really hot weather you can feel the a/c engage/disengage a the car will slow/speed up.

You're probably hearing the compresser kicking on and off. My old car I could always tell when the compressor kicked in because it made the car louder and caused a slight vibration. In the TSX however, I can't really tell when it kicks in. Maybe you should mention it to the dealer.

At high fan speeds, the fan bearing noise is irritating! Only started happening after 1.5 years.

I have that in my 1998 Path. The compressor makes a noise, which I've been thinking sounds like a bearing gone bad... I don't hear a thing on my TSX though. The only thing I'll ever hear/feel is that the engine idle speed will go up a couple of hundred revs to handle the extra load of the compressor. Have it checked out, this doesn't sound normal at all!
