In my three-compressor warrantee replacement extravaganza (ended when the car
was totalled three days into the third REPLACEMENT compressor), I experienced
this. It took the compressor two hours to blow the seal, and when it did, I
thought I standing in front of a foghorn that had ingested helium. Was like
listening to a thousand nails being pulled down a chalkboard. Nearly wet myelf.
