Oops. Let me correct myself. The tech confirmed that the hissing sound was there but wasn't sure what was causing it.

I forgot to mention that the dealer bled the brakes back in April 2005. When the brake pedal started to run low again in November 2005 because of a slow leak, they replaced the master cylinder. It seemed to have solved the leak but the brake feel didn't inspire confidence compared to that of our other S70. Also, the hissing sound occurs when I stomp on the brake pedal with the car in park. This hiss sound is not consistent in length .. varies from a split second to a second and sometimes it's not there.

Now someone mentioned the brake booster. I hope not! What are the symptoms of a failing booster anyway?
