Hissing/ air release sound has been asked about before without a definitive answer even when people had in for service, well last night I spent some quaility time with my Pony and found out what that noise was.
on mine at least (for sure) it is just the A/C compressor clutch engaging and disengaging, in a very quite (1AM) enviroment I was under the hood adjusting head lights when car was runing w/ A/C on and PISSST the clutch disengaged, looked with flash light and confirmed (compressor is on lower right of engine)
inside the car when this happens (more if your windows are down and sound bounces of a high curb like when crusing the strip) it does sound like a release of hi pressure air but up close to compressor it is just a metalic sound
this is one less thing we have to worry about, hope this helps

werked, to clarify
the noise is just a loud A/C compressor clutch (an elctro mecanical switch to turn on or off compressor) all cars w/ A/C have one
it sure is loud though!

over's GT - Thank you for confirming it! I read the posts suggesting it's the AC clutch, but this is a first official confiramtion I saw. This sound sure is annoying. I get to hear it 2-3 times a minute sometimes, depending on what my AC settings are.

you never know, the noise could get worse or better with time, for me I can deal with it now that I know the a/c is not leaking out something at random times
it just adds character, like having to slam my hood and explaining to people that I'm not mad!

I think I have this. It happens every 10 to 15 secs, but it doesn't sound like air escaping or hissing. It sounds like a pebble was kicked up under my car. Like a metallic clicking noise.
Is there a TSB for this or anything that can be done? It's kinda loud and passengers notice it...=(

Would anyone describe this noise like glass cracking under strain? I keep hearing this noise, but all of my glass is fine. It sounds like its coming from the passengers side. It may sound different since its a vert. Any thoughts?
