Help: Grinding Noise with A/C on.

Help: some strange low-volume but annoying grinding noise appears whenever the A/C is turned on, regardless of fan speed/air-circulation mode. And it becomes louder and higher pitch as engine rev goes up (mini-R53 in the A/C ).

It's a 08 MCSa so it's should be covered by warranty. But what's the problem and how long it gonna take the dealer to fix it?

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!! I live in RI and today was the first day I used the A/C as it was 88F outside. Whenever I stepped on the pedal It sounded like and felt like a grinding noise. It was quite noticeable! Anyone know what's up with that? Is it normal?
