You have to determine if the belt is too loose or the compressor is too tight. Check the belt and use gauges to take high and low pressure readings to determine if there is an internal issue with the AC.

Is this correct from first post?
Quote">>Model - Mazda 3 BL

Question on the mileage of 1000km even if you meant 10,000km.
This is a new car if that's correct so why are you asking a web site instead of taking it to dealer under warranty? If you just want ideas before taking it back fine.
When a compressor when engaged makes an unusual noise there is extra load on the belt(s) and of course compressor is now working internally so either could be a reason. If something has happened out of warranty like an accident, some other something say what happened that this isn't a covered problem for a pretty new, low mile/km car.
If you mess with it you could void the warranty on that issue,

You have to upload it to a video hosting site and then paste the link in here.

That link requires downloading a player which is unsafe so i deleted it.
You can simply use Youtube if you need to post a video file.

That's the compressor cycling on and off for whatever reason. It could be low on refrigerant, It could be overcharged on refrigerant o it could be an electrical issue. It needs to be checked by an AC specialist to find out.

That's just compressor engaging on and off. Depending on temps and conditions could be normal by that short show from what I could tell.
Again - if anything is wrong with this car it's a warranty fix and if you so much as touch it you could lose that for A/C and you don't want that if there is a problem at all.
OK - It's a model year 2012. 2014s are out in full for most makes of anything so it probably sat a good time. That could cause either some temporary issues even new or some things could need attention but it's still warranty stuff. Look at the date of manufacture on the door jam. It could have been made in 2011 so it could have some serious sitting around time,
