Question

Answer
This noise could also be caused by a worn or loose a/c belt. The compressor bearing can be purchased at the toyota dealer, it takes some special tools to get the compressor clutch off, you would also need to remove the compressor from the car which would require removing all the freon and replacing the freon after the repair.
