Hey,

I was visiting my parent's house this weekend and I guess they've been having problems with their 2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE

The problem is, whenever the car is running, in the beginning you hear this odd noise, the best way I can describe the noise is this: It sounds like if you quickly rattle a single penny in a plastic container. So once you first start the car you can hear this noise, then if you start the Air Conditioning, the noise is a bit louder and faster, if yout turn up the AC and turn it off in a fast motion, the noise stops, but if you drive around and stop at a stop sign/light and accelerate, in the very beginning of accelerating, you can hear the noise as well.

Anyone know what the problem is?

Plus, I turned off the car and turned on the AC, and the noise wasn't happening. So I have no idea what it is. If it's possible I can come back with a sound byte.
