A/C Clutch question

A/C Clutch question
I have an '03 Ram, 5.7 that I've had for about 6 years. Great truck all around.
Yesterday I was driving on the highway, had the A/C on and started to hear a sound about every 20 seconds. Narrowed it down to the A/C clutch.
At idle it wont do it, but at speed it makes a sound when it engages that is less of a chirp, and more of a "nurp", if that makes any sense.
There's no growling or grinding, just the "nurp" when it kicks on at speed.
So, do I just replace the clutch itself? Or could there be something else going on?
Thanks!
