Hissing will go away and come back intermittently. Then there will be a rattle when it does go.
Keep an eye on this and don't just write it off as normal noise. If it isn't something you expect to hear, then it is never normal noise. Hopefully yours is not as severe an issue.

rattle? The throw out bearing makes a TON of noise in this car...but the noise goes away when you press the clutch pedal. This rattle is also normal.
Granted, lots of things can rattle lol. So your rattle could be different than another persons rattle...gosh these threads about "weird sounds" are damn near impossible to describe haha.
