Rx-330 A/c Compressor

[jcamp]

Hi guys. I've had an RX-330 for a couple months now and LOVE the car! I've only had one issue with it so far and it is something I can't seem to get a straight answer on, so I'm wondering if anybody else has noticed this. After having the car for a few weeks I noticed that every time the A/C compressor kicks on (which it usually kicks on and off every 30 sec or so) there is a strange and annoying humming sound that you hear anywhere from 5-15 seconds. Sometimes it's pretty loud and can especially be heard if you are on a quiet road. I took it back to my Lexus dealership to have this looked at and they told me that they've had other owners complain about the same thing. They were originally going to replace the A/C compressor but then called me back and said that they are pretty sure all the compressors for the RX-330 make the same noise. They told me eventually they are planning to come out with a new compressor but had no timeframe on this. They said there is nothing they can do in the meantime. I don't know if they are telling me the truth or just trying to get me off their back. I've been in other RX-330's and do not notice this sound so obviously to me all the compressors are not this loud. It's pretty loud and pretty unacceptable to me. It would be unacceptable on any car but especially on a Lexus. I'm just wondering if anybody else has noticed this or taken their car in for this issue. Thanks!
