The a/c compressor may be on it's way out. Don't wait to replace it. As it is wearing out, it sends trash into the a/c system making it difficult and costly to clean out the system. Some parts can't be cleaned and have to be replaced. If it is not cleaned out completely the remaining trash will damage the new compressor in a short time.

Why is fan loud when air or heat is on?

The electric fans used to cool the engine are designed to switch on to full speed when the air conditioner compressor is being used.

Since both when heating or cooling your car the air conditioner compressor is working the fan will be running at high speed and makes more noise.
