Yeah, Nventives stuff is overcharged so it makes noises like that.

[ibby]

please explain overcharged ...
does that mean its normal to make those noises ?

[craig588]

Yeah, all of the mach 1s and 2s make them. (Probably the GTs too)

It means they put too much gas in them, it lowers the capacity but makes it easier to charge them. (I think thats why they do it)

It means liquid is getting back to the compressor and then the compressor is trying to compress the liquid (compressing liquid isint possible) and the compressor makes a popping noise. You may also notice ice forming on the bottom of your compressor. I suspect that this problem will be eliminated with a good load on the machI.
