air sound while accelerating

When i accelerate hard i notice the engine sounds like there is air moving in or out at a very fast rate. Like an extreme, high pitch blowing sound, is this normal?

do you have the sunroof hood thing? Mine made crazy wind noise

EDIT: I'm stupid, didn't look at the pics. Maybe you just have a weird resonance in the radiator area...

I've been hearing the same sound coming from engine bay occasionally. It's like a high pitch whistle and the higher the RPM, the higher the pitch. My car is bone stock with only a K&N drop-in filter. Anybody has any idea?

If it's normal, why do I only hear it occasionally?

Mine sounds a bit like a belt slipping, or like a thousand mice squeaking :

Changes pitch a little when accelerating, and sounds like it's coming from the passenger side of the engine compartment

Stock, typically refers to the engine and performance part's not things like wheels, if i'm not mistaken. I also have a detachable face radio (again, it came with the car) so those 2 things are not original equiptment. Radio and the rims.

But,anyways......The hissing noise sounds kind of healthy i guess, it just made me wonder.I drove my buddies 2000 maxima SE today and it didn't do it.

Well Im not sure if you were trying to flame me or not, but in my defense all Im gonna say is that, I didnt mean I hear it coming from the engine. I was talking about how it sounds like the window is down. Its leaking from somewhere near the rear axle. It hasnt started to make a "putting" noise. Just a "whooooosh"

Not flamming you at all, i'm serious. My exhaust makes a putting sound but it's not very loud. I'ts totally different from the engine sound and it's very annoying. It (my exhaust leak) just makes the car sound kind of unhealthy. I bet they could have just welded it shut in 2 seconds instead of quoting me a $230 bill when i had it checked out. But, they're in it to make money i guess.
