I wonder if it is a squealing belt...maybe check belt tension (?)
Technically the condenser is the heat exchanger in front of the radiator...it has no moving parts. You were probably referring to the compressor?
Coincidentally, my teg is at the mechanic getting $700 in A/C repairs. New compressor, accumulator, belt, 134a retrofit, etc., etc.
