knocking noise when a/c runs

i have an 1987 4227 cockpit motor yacht. Recently started to hear a noise at the back of the boat on the starboard side only when then a/c is running. Sounds like a baffle has come loose. There is a cavity that is inaccessible. Both the starboard engine exhaust and a/c pump line lead to this cavity which is exactly where the noise comes from.
Any thoughts on what this issue is or possible solution would be greatly appreciated.

Compressor maybe. Something in fan?

Thanks for the reply, compressors arent anywhere near this area and you can actually adjust the sound when you press on the exterior in that spot. Fan maybe, but sure why they'd tuck one in there and not make it accessible.

yeah I agree with you on the installation of things many times doesn't make since. Good luck
