A/C Compressor failure?

Two weeks ago I'm driving my 01 Viggen and hear a metallic shuddering noise that rose and fell in pitch with RPM. At higher speed / RPM it went away, but returned at lower. Popping the hood I could hear it coming from the belt and pulley side. Figured it was the a/c compressor because the noise stopped every time I hit the econ button (back and forth). My mechanic ordered a new compressor and the parts and I was set to have them do that, when yesterday I thought I'd make sure my battery was ok, having not driven the car for two weeks. Sure enough: No noise. Ran normal. Today I just drove 20 miles, played with the econ button. Turned the ACC way down, etc. No noise / no problems. Since these things don't heal themselves, am I missing something? If the compressor quit would it seize up and the problem would remain evident? Any other thoughts on this mystery?
