Default jingle bells

ok every once in a while i get this annoying *** jingling noise and it seems like its coming from the area of my a/c pump. I've heard quite alot of GM cars make this noise before. It drives me insane. What the hell is it, and how do i stop it?

I had that noise too, just before the a/c compressor seized. It had a ton of metal shavings/chunks in it and ruined the rest of the a/c system as well.

The loose change sound usually is related to too much timing, at the RMPS you hear it.

But if your A/C is shot, then it very might well be the compressor.

Hard to diag and say online, but I think your in the right direction now.
