So I understand that your AC runs on basically a compressor but does everyones make such a god awful noise when they fire it up? I started mine today and it make the worst noise ever. Is that right or is it something that I should get looked at?

It ain't right. All you should be able to hear is a click as it engages and disengages.

Mine sometimes makes a bang noise, much louder than the typical "click", but then I never hear it cycle after that. But it is loud the first time it engages. The compressor itself doesn't make any noise.
When it gives up, I'll replace the clutch.
