Noisy AC clutch?

Hey guys

I was wondering if it's normal for the AC clutch to make a clunking noise like this?

It happens every time the AC turns on (like every 10-15 seconds) and you can actually feel and hear it inside the car, but only very faint.

The AC is working as expected, except for the typical expansion valve hissing. It *might* be a little down on cooling power but i'm not really sure, since i haven't used the AC much.

Btw, the rumbling/grinding sound that the compressor is making appears much louder on video than IRL.

Thank you for you help :)
