Default 2004 a6 2.7t loud screeching/alarm type noise after shut off

Yesterday I was driving home and was about 10 minutes away when my oil sensor came on. Yellow alert, not red, so I figured I'd get home and check/add oil. I pull into the garage and double check the manual for the symbol just to be sure. Sitting while in park for about 30 seconds, my a/c stopped coming out cold and my engine started smoking. Turned off the car, had to run inside for a minute, came back out and pulled the car out of the garage. Went back inside for about 5 minutes, came back out to check on the car and had a high pitched almost alarm type noise coming from the engine area. This went on for a couple of minutes and I recorded the sound. Since then, anytime I turn on then off the car, that noise comes on just briefly. (I'm not driving it, just checking things) I know I have a coolant leak, haven't been able to get it fixed. It looks to be coming from the reservoir as it is cracked-found that looking at it today. Am ordering that part to replace. Filled the oil but it wasn't empty, just at the low bar on the dipstick. Does anyone know what this noise is?
Received a reply that it could be pcv valve, but checked with removing oil cap and that did not fix the problem. Attached is the noise.

The clutch on your AC compressor is toast and is slipping.

Replace it.
