It only happens when the AC is on, and it is continuous. I hear it very plainly from the vents, and when I put my head down by the passenger floorboard (near where the evaporator is located). I don't hear it as much by the driver floorboard.
I'll be taking it back to the shop to have then look at it, but if anyone knows what can cause this, it'd be nice to have that information ahead of time.
Thanks for looking.

Evaporator is a big expensive job. Behind the glove box somewhere. If you get wet carpet, it's a clogged drain line. There's a tube that comes into the engine bay that can be cleaned out with compressed air.
I was lucky. Replaced the AC compressor with a new $190 compressor on Amazon (Denso), and she's been cooling good (but not like when new) for a year - right through the summers.
Can't expect the OEM 13 year old compressor to last forever.
