Thumbs up A/C whistle?

Hello, I am new to the forum and a friend told me to come check it out. Me and my girl just recently bought a 2005 S2000 with about 33k miles and we love it so far. Today as we were driving around with the a/c on I keep hearing this whistling noise when the a/c cycles. It goes away but when the a/c cycles again, the whistle noise comes back. Is this normal for these cars? I tried searching but couldn't find the right answer. Any imput is appriciated. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, it pretty normal for the S2k. I get the same sound when I use my A/C.

cool, thanks guys. I work at a Ford dealership so I'll check the a/c system when I go back to work and recharge it for the heck of it. I'll keep ya posted.
