I noticed this morning when i started my car and began to drive it sounded like an air leak was coming from my car. i stopped and checked all tires were fine and herd it coming from under the car close to the front but im not really sure what could be making this consistent noise of air hissing. Does anyone have any idea where it could be coming from?

OP; Its probably just your belts are damp n slight slippage on the pulleys. Check if the noise goes away after the engine and engine bay warm up.

OP, my 2006 and 2007 both made similar sounds when it was damp or wet outside. Was it a rainy day when you noticed this?

Just realized you mentioned this happened yesterday. With the rain we got yesterday morning I am even more sure you have nothing to worry about. Flagrum_3 is pointing you in the right direction with where the noise is coming from.

it wasnt raining but it had rained acouple hours earlier. I was just driving in the pissing rain and no noise. but would pullys make a air leak noise? kinda like the tire has a hole in it that kind of squeel. no noise today though

Its not the pulley, its the belt and it happens with my car too when I start it up first time when its damp or raining. But the sound disappears in a few minutes.

Been doing the same for years.

So basically nothing to be concerned over. The belts have no cracks or really any signs of wear either :)
