Default Hissing sound?

So i shut off my car and notice a hissing sound, sounding like someone was letting out the air in my tires, i open the hood and saw nothing odd, it seemed like it was by the firewall of the car, not surewhat this could be as its the first i heard it, any insights?
Thanks

Could it have been maybe the fan? The fan keeps working if the engine is too hot to cool it down.

Some people have had leaks in he vacuum line going to the power brake booster. That line goes through the firewall. Next time it makes that noise, move that line around abit and see if it is the source.
