KA24DE hissing noise

[peetiewonder]

aight so my ka does this thing where from about 3k up it makes a hissing noise that kind of sounds almost like a turbo but more hissy if that makes sense. i'll take a video of it when i get a chance. has anyone else had this problem on theirs? if so what caused it? Could it be a bad belt or something like that.

Also the car has one of those pepboys filters on it, came with the car. could that be it?

any tips appreciated.

you don't have any driveability issues just the hissing ??

Most likely the intake?
No screeching or grinding?

no drivability issues. I found some other threads on the same problem and people identified it as a possible slipping belt. 2 probs i am currently having, that are gonna get fixed next week are stuck clutch fan and powersteering leak. so i think the combination of the two is causing the problem.

I have this same problem, It straight up sounds like a supercharger sound.
And i also have a power steering leak so i think it might have something to do with that.
