Default Exhaust leak perhaps?....

If you are having cold wather, you can check this by starting the car and checking underneath for any exhaust vapor.

You mean you can hear air escaping (as from an air compressor)?

Default Sounds crazy, but winter tires on wet roads maybe?

First time I drove my new M2 Wintersports on wet roads, I thought I blew my turbos. Apparently, it seems to be a result of the siping on winter tires and the noise they make when they "open" up under acceleration on wet roads. Just a thought.

I hear the same sound(s) on our S4 and VR6 -- only with the winter tires...
