When your air conditioner is operating normally, you will hear sounds such as: l Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a �pinging� or �clicking� sound. Water droplets help to cool the condenser. l Air movement from the fan, especially on high fan speed settings. l Clicks from the thermostat cycle. Sounds also may be caused by house construction-such as vibration of the unit due to wall construction or unsteady window mounting area.
