Why is my AC making this noise?
AC brand is TCL and it's brand new. I've had electrical issues with this apartment before, so that was my first thought. There were a few minutes where it didn't make this noise and then it sounded like the power surged (only way I can describe it) and when the AC kicked in to work harder the noise started again and didn't stop. I really appreciate any and all ideas because it's a heat wave here and my portable ac isn't keeping up. Portable ac is doing fine, no weird noises or power-surging, but it's in another room. I've tried turning all major appliances off to see if it affects how the AC runs and it has no impact. Please be nice I know it's duct taped to hell but our windows are terrible and this was the only way to secure the sides.TIA 🫶
