I replaced my R12 compressor because the entire AC system was shot, which included a serious comp whine. The replacement comp was used, but from a car with considerably fewer miles than mine had. I also did a thorough R134 conversion, including flushing remnants of the old R12 oil out of the entire system. The "new" comp with R134 and it's respective proper oil doesn't make any more noise than usual. I've read that mixing the two oils can create problems, and perhaps that's what you're experiencing. Perhaps your comp is low on oil. Too much oil causes less coolant efficiency, whereas too little can kill the comp.
