What is the reason for the buzzing sound when the air conditioner is turned on in an Audi A6L?

It may be due to excessive dust, and cleaning it should resolve the issue. Below is some relevant information about the Audi A6L: 1. Introduction: The Audi A6L is the first Audi model to enter the Chinese market, with its predecessor being the third-generation Audi 100, codenamed C3, introduced domestically in 1988. The Audi A6L is a vehicle series developed by FAW-Volkswagen Audi based on the German new A6, serving as the successor to the A6. In June 2012, the new-generation Audi A6L was launched, equipped with a 35-TFSI powertrain, and its exterior design somewhat resembles the new version of the A4L. 2. Design: The new Audi A6L adopts a five-link front suspension design, balancing the necessary rigid connection for sportiness and comfort with low static stiffness. Among these, the hydraulic form of the frame vibration damping support significantly enhances the vehicle's driving comfort and effectively reduces the impact and jerkiness when passing over speed bumps and uneven road surfaces, thereby decreasing the impact on the lumbar spine.
My Audi A6L also had the issue of a buzzing sound from the AC last year. At first, I thought it was an engine malfunction, but later found out it was leaves stuck in the AC blower fan blades. This kind of buzzing noise is usually caused by obstructed airflow or friction between components. Aging compressor bearings can also produce a low humming sound, especially noticeable when the cooling starts. Additionally, loose mounting brackets for the AC piping can transmit vibrations to the cabin, sounding like a beehive. Remember to check if the AC filter is clogged—a dirty filter can force the blower to work harder, creating unusual noises. Worn bearings in the electric fan are most noticeable on hot days when the AC is on. I recommend recording the frequency of the noise, checking for loose pipe clips in the engine bay when the car is cold, and then visiting the dealership for a compressor pressure test. Don’t wait until summer when it completely breaks down to get it fixed.
