    I had this same issue and it ended up being the AC compressor giving out.

    My AC rattles when it's on high setting. Rattling seems like it's coming near or on top of glove box area.

    It's pretty loud when the setting is on high. It's not normal that's for sure.

    Same here, I didn't often use my AC up until the summer kicked in and from one day to the next I started hearing the loud clicking noise and the compressor ended up being the verdict, And I was shy of 47k when it happened. Mechanic said to be careful having it on with the noise because the pulley for the compressor is a part of the entire belt system so if for any reason the pulley jams on the compressor it can blow the belt.

    Notice it's not only when the AC is on. When the fan is on as well.
