Check belt
Change the belt , squirt a lil lube just in the bearing areas of all pulleys , and tensioners.
The air conditioner compressor is driven by the engine. The compressor itself has a pully on it that is mounted to an electric clutch, When the Air condition is no on, the pulley still rotates on the shaft but the clutch is not engaged so the compressor does not turn. If the whole assembly is starting to wear then the bearings in the pulley will whine. Due to the the heat that builds up from this, the dealer or service tech will replace the whole compressor and the clutch, You are looking at a cost of near 2 thousand dollars.
