Not much you can do about it.
It's an electrically driven 3 phase scroll compressor like on a refrigerator.
It is not belt driven by the engine.
It was explained to me by "Makingdofornow"
Basically, it is what it is.
Also note that the condenser is a three phase motor driven. If you are more than 2°F from the set temp it will run faster to increase BTU output. Speed of condenser will also increase as fan speed is increased and will make more noise. If you have AC on automatic the condenser and fan speed will vary much more and make less noise as temp of cabin approaches the set temperature.
Also: when in auto set the fan to the max speed you want auto to use. Then if you want more fan just put it on max cool and AC will turn every thing on full blast until you put it back on automatic and the fan and condenser will drop to their appropriate speed depending on temperature difference from set temp.
Here's mine
My 23 Maverick hybrid. UPDATE
7-17-24 11:15am
First start of the day.
Outside air temp 109°
Climate control AUTO 72°
Outside the truck, in front of the grill, hood closed.
Engine running w/ac
A/C without the engine running.
Truck is facing north.

Here is the sound of my air conditioner. . Mine is actually louder without the engine running.
Both air conditioner and engine running till 5:41 then it's just the AC no engine.
Had to do a video of what I recorded. I don't know how to change audio formats.

Sounds like a 737 on takeoff! I recently was in a parking lot and turned on AC full blast as I got into car. Waiting on wife as she was still in the store. Guy came up and tapped on window. "Your engine is about to blow up"! I explained it to him and he just shook his head and walked away.
