I recently got a new Focus Sedan, and I started noticing this high pitched ringing and hissing sound coming from mostly from the passenger side in the front, and much less so on the driver side. Here is the video:

Would be grateful for advice if this is normal wear-in, or would be an issue that I need to bring to the dealer.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a brand new A/C Clutch waring in to me ...
Turn the A/C off, bet the noise is much quieter.

Moved to the MkIII section for more looks by owners of your model.

Thanks for the response. The AC was off at the time, and the engine was warm after about 20min drive.

Can you please let me know your current mileage? The break-in period is 1,000 miles.
