About a month ago, when I was in a traffic jam, I noticed louder than normal hamming/whirring noise from engine compartment. I also felt slight vibration from the floor.
Update from Sep 11, 2014: When the AC was off, the noise and vibration went away. I had a local dealer checked the system. The person who were called advisor at dealership said it was normal noise coming from AC condenser fan from engine compartment. I had this car for two years and I knew this was not normal. So I insisted to have it checked and they did. I was told that AC compressor was making that noise and it needed to be replaced. At this moment, I was waiting for the part to come to dealership so it can be replaced. I hope replacement fix the problem.
