There is a compressor, run by the engine by a belt and an electromagnetic
clutch, a radiator, mounted forward of the normal one, some piping,
an evaporator/dissecant (silver car but the battery) and a condensor (a
small radiator under the dash, thats what gets cold)

The sound you hear is the engine fan. It comes one when you turn the aircond
on to cool the front radiator.
If that works, and the air does not come out cold, the AC must be discharged.
If you dont use it, the seals get dry and brittle and leak the gas thats
inside the system. You should take it to an AC shop where they will hook
it up to some gauges and tell you if its charged up.
