Default Underhood 'wheeze' on shutdown?

Sort of a light squeal, as if a diaphragm had a tear. Haven't noticed any performance issues, and recently completed a service at dealer.

Ideas? Normal? Abbey-normal?

Default Haven't thought to position a listening post....

before shutdown. Directly in front of me, but I have non-directional hearing courtesy M1A1 tanks.

A slight whistle, and it's gone. I looked under the hood, no indications evident to the naked eye.

Default Correct (sorta): expansion valve wheezes when you're low....

I needed 1/2 pound of freon. Makes 39* air right now! YeeeeeeHaaa!
