Default Loud A/C Condenser
I know this has been covered in other areas of this forum but I didn't see anything that quite fit my situation.

My A/C is abnormally (to me) loud when it runs. Is this normal for other GS owners?

I don't notice an abnormally audible difference whether my A/C is on or off. Could be the bearings in yours going bad.

Ah dang it! Ok. I was also considering the possibility of the A/C system needing to be recharged but then that means a leak. It's a lose lose situation on this it seems.

Condenser doesn't make noise. You're probably hearing a fan or compressor.

That's what I get for typing fast. I definitely meant compressor. Thank you!
