47,000 miles on my Si and it still makes the same noise. You can leave your heater fan on, just turn off the "A/C" in the infotainment screen and the sound goes away. It's definitely related to the compressor.
I'm so tempted to leave the compressor off for the winter, but I know that it's designed to run all the time to keep the seals working. My last car I left the compressor running all year long for 9 years and 220,000 miles, and I still had cold A/C with zero servicing to the A/C system.
I think that part of our problem is that the compressor is a load variable system. So that as the compressor turns it varies the output according to the need. That's the part that I think is making the noise. So until they can redesign the compressor to remove the noise, we're stuck with the whine. AND I HATE IT!
