AC Compressor noise

Started hearing a noise today coming from the engine compartment on my 2000 9-3 Viggen (130k miles). An intermittent rattle noise, low tone, like someone banging on hard rubber. Listened under the hood and using a "listening tube", the noise seems to becoming from the AC compressor. The AC was set on "Econ", so compressor shouldn't have been working. Setting AC on "AUTO" and lowering the temp seemed to make noise disappear. Could the magnetic clutch be cycling on and off? Or something more internal to the compressor? Or? Thanks for any guidance!
