Various noises my car shouldn't be making

When the engine is shut off there is a sound of escaping air from under the hood.

I'll try to locate it later on today but for now, any ideas?

Also, when applying the brakes rapidly a similar sound is heard.

This leads me to think somethings wrong with the brake booster.

I know all four brakes are working since I get piles of brake dust on all four wheels. Brake fluid reservoir is full and hasn't changed since I've bought it in the summer.

Re: Escaping air

When you have a cone on your intake it will release back pressure and can be quite loud. Not sure about the brakes though...
 
Re: Escaping air

I've got a vid with every noise cept the brake pedal one. Uploading it as soon as its done rendering.
 
Yea when my engine is turned off, my filter sucks or pushes out air, It sounds pretty cool and I assume is normal.
 


I find it hilarious that when I go to leave with a cold car, my entire family thinks my car is going to explode because of the cone intake noise. :D
