vacuum will go away with more acceleration. can you tell if it's from the engine compartment or behind dash? if behind dash it could be part of the heating / ac system.

I started getting that hissing sound too right after the parking brake auto release stopped working. I was told the hissing sound is coming from the brake booster. That round black thing mounted behind the brake fluid reservoir. I have no clue why my brakes are still functioning. We should be worried right?
