Is this a normal charging noise?

[Sculpix]

This is my first EV so I have a lot to learn. I've only ever charged my R1T with the Rivian home charger and usually it's pretty quiet. But tonight I walked into the garage only to be greeted by this sound coming from the rear between the back tires. It's so loud and it goes away when I remove the charger.

Climate is off and it's charging at 11.2 kW. I last drove it about 5hrs ago for about 20min.

Perhaps this is a normal sound I've just never heard?

Most Def not normal.

Sounds like the air compressor seal has died and it is trying to top up...def not normal.

I hear the air compressor and what sounds like leaking air. Schedule service.

Thanks everyone. I put in a ticket to be included in my already scheduled service appt. FWIW the noise did stop and it went back to quiet charging. But since I can't hear it from inside my house and I charge it after midnight I have no idea how long it went on for or whether it happens every time. It's a brand new truck I've had less than a month
