A-coil

a cased coil, or uncased with a home made baffle?
If it was an uncased, look at the baffle to make sure it is put together tightly. Too often I have seen guys use 4 separate pieces of tin, and then not screw them together to make a solid base. Then one will start to vibrate in the air stream as metal fatigue starts.
I agree with the professor. It is unlikely the a coil. A simpe chack would be to run the fan only.. if the noise is there, its not the cooling system, but induced by airfow.

A-coil
Customer complaining about noisy a-coil. Has orfice,can't find any problem in system all pressures are good any ideas. Thanks Mark0 -
Blower Noise
Since the A-coil is located in the air handler and the coil has no moving parts to rattle or create noise, I would not be surprised if there is a blower noise annoying the customer.
I would check the blower and motor bearings for unusual wear.
There could also be an issue with the ductwork flexing when the blower starts or stops.
If the unit has a belt driven blower assembly, have you checked the belts for wear.
Keep us posted when you locate the problem.

It's a refrigerant flow niose from metering device, pressures seem to be ok.0 -
System Pressures
You mentioned that the system pressures seems okay... Just curious, how about the evaporator superheat? Have you measured it and if so, what was it?
A certain amount of noise is normal/acceptable when a fluid is flowing through a pipe, especially when the system first starts up.0
