hissing noise....

When driving the car steady it seems to have a hissing noise when changing through the gears, especailly between 3 and 4000 revs.. sound a bit like a turbo.... is this normal? the car is Standard....

Cheers peeps...

Check for air leaks i guess.

Its the hissing is coming from the air flow section in the bottom left hand corner.... do golf 16v's sound like this at standard.. any more info would be great..

Cheers lads.....
