Default hissing sound before acceleration?

Hey just a little question,
probably just what the throttle sounds like... but does any body have a slight punchy hiss or gas release when revving with the cluth in or in neutral?
I actually like it, but was just wondering whether it was normal.

cheers

Perhaps it's sucking in air? I can hear mine right before the exhaust note kicks in.

You can hear it really well when you put a pod on the car.. sorta sounds like a turbo spooling but not really.. just like a PSSSTTT for a very breif part of a second.....

Yeah, I've wondered about that too. I noticed the noise when I put a pod on. Someone actually asked me, "Is that the new turbo Fiesta?"

"No, it doesn't come with a turbo," I answered vaguely...
