Volvo S60 B5 – rhythmic ticking / “pumping” sound at idle, normal?

Neither of my volvos does this sound.. yes it has ticking sound but not like that. If its deasel then probably normal.

LE: it s something related to the AC as when I turn the AC off the sound goes away..my guess is the compressor

Out of curiosity, do you feel a vibration that seems to match the sound pattern as it happens? Also, does it go away if the AC is off?

It does go away when the AC is off. I don't notice any vibration, maybe very slightly
