“Air sound” from underneath the driver’s side

[juno]

Hi Cherokees,

My Jeep Grand Cherokee 95’ has been making strange noises. I don’t quite know how to describe the noise but I will try. The noise sound like “SHHHHHH” – “air sound”, the noise comes right in the vicinity of the drivers side break pedal. As a matter of fact when I break the noise slightly distorts to a different “SHHHHHH” sound. The noise comes on when I start up the vehicle, stays on while the vehicle is running, and continues for about five seconds after I turn the vehicle engine off.

Any advice or information on what this could be and how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a vacuum line is leaking but I do not know of any vacuum lines in that vicinity.
