Why Is My Air Conditioner Making a Pulsating Noise?

Air Conditioner Pulsating Noises

Typically, a pulsating noise coming from your air conditioning system’s outdoor compressor shouldn’t signal the alarm bells, but it should still be inspected.

Some pulsing might be normal, but if the noise is loud enough to be heard inside the home, it could signal a loose part or panel that is causing the vibrating. Some parts that could be loose include the motor’s fan blade or the coil fan. In some cases, the noise could even be originating from the fan motor, which might need to be replaced.

What to Do If Your AC Is Making Noises

A pulsing noise is not nearly as serious as banging or squealing sounds coming from the condenser. But a pulsing noise should still be enough to warrant a call to your HVAC company.
