Strange A/C Noises

[Sinead]

A friend was over at my house and he told me that when an A/C unit kicks on and off really hard/loud that something might be wrong? Would you guys agree?

Also, about twice every hour the A/C makes a noise that sounds like someone is welding or sawing metal from about 100 yards away. Does anybody know what maybe could be causing this noise? Never heard an A/C unit make that type of noise.

Maybe it's just a loud compressor. Does the unit work well?

Sinead I hate to say it but it sounds like you may be buying an AC unit soon if you dont mind find the make model and serial number off the unit and I should be able to tell you how old it is . This info is usually on a tag on the outside unit .
