SOURCE: Air/Hissing Noise from Brake Pedal

this noise is caused by a defective power brake vacuum booster, (big round thing behind the master cylinder) the diaphragm is leaking vacuum.

SOURCE: Brakes problem

jcakey: My name is Roger and I will answer your question for you. From what you describe the problem sounds like a bad vacum brake booster. A simple way to check is to do the following. With the engine off. Press on the brake pedal 4 or 5 times. This will deplete all vacum in the booster. Next start the engine while holding your foot on the brake pedal. The pedal should drop a couple of inches. If the pedal does not drop. The problem is the brake booster. When the booster is bad you will hear a hissing sound inside of the truck when you apply the brakes..
If the master cylinder is faulty you will wave mushy brake to no brakes.Your ABS and brake failure lights will be on. Should you need further help please just ask. I will be glad to help you. Please rate this answer as this is how we know your answer was useful.Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

My brake pedal will not budge, and a hissing noise present when running

The stop lights won't go out until the pedal is depressed, as there is a switch which is activated by the pedal.

A hard brake pedal is probably caused by a defective servo. The hissing noise is probably an air leak in the servo.

Switch the engine on, open the bonnet (the hood..) and see if you can locate the hissing - that'll probably be in the brake servo area.

If you don't know what a brake servo looks like here is a generic image:

2001 ford escape makes a hissing and high pitched squealing sound when the brake pedal is released?

You need to have the brakes inspected. This noise is the brake pad wear warning tab hitting the brake rotor.;

You have a vacuum leak. Very possibly the brake booster or the vacuum line running to it

Air pressure sound when i push on the brakes

air pressure sound may come from a leaky vacuum hose or bad check valve at the booster or master cylinder.

But, I think that it's normal to hear a soft hissing sound when depressing the brake pedal which comes from hydraulic fluid going through the passage ways.

Is the pedal hard?

When I step on the brakes I hear a hissing sound. The breaks ar mushy and the RPMs increase when I am in park and I step on the brakes.

That sounds like the power brake booster unit is faulty and it will require replacing the power brake booster unit to repair the vehicle. Also, check to see if there are any vacuum lines running to the brake switch(s) on the brake pedal lever that might have come loose or are damaged.

Brake servo making a hissing sound around the brake pedal but

The brake booster is shot, there is a rubber diaphram inside the booster and it must be ruptured and is leaking vacuum. You may want to go to; car-parts.com, to see if the salvage yards in area have a used one.
