Default Noise coming from A/C

Hey guys...

I know that summer is long gone and that is very apparent up here in the the good ol Pacific Northwest, but I had a quick A/C question. I was driving home from the gym the other night and decided to turn on the A/C w/ the recirculation button on. When I did, noticed a weird noise coming from the vents as I started accelerating slowly in first gear from about 1.5-2.5 rpm.(ie. accelerating from a stop light, pulling into my garage). It sounds like a brash whistling inside the vents and got louder with more revs. It did this a couple times a while back but now it does it almost every time I turn on the A/C. Any idea of what it could be?
and it also does it in reverse too. It's basically any time the car is moving from a stop.

Any input would be great. Thanks!

My 07 also does that, I was confused about it at first. It happened in my garage, and I thought "Why is the wind moving this fast in here?" Haha.

You are hearing the refrigerant going through the expansion valve. It's normal and louder on a S2k than any other Honda.
