    hey guys. So I have a 2007 Tacoma with the 2.7. Recently it's been making a strange sound, but only when it's revved over 3500. It sounds like compressed air being blown from a hose. It does it whether I'm driving or in neutral, but it's louder when accelerating harder than normal. Now I'm not a mechanic, so it might be, but I don't think it's an exhaust leak because under 3500rpm it never does it. It's also not a loose heat shield, as far as I can tell they are all tight.
    Past that it sounds like its coming from underneath the passenger seat area.
    So what might be causing this? Thanks guys

    I have the same issue at the moment. IDK if you even still have this truck. Any leads?

    Thanks

    Need a soundbite or vid capturing the noise.
    then I might have some pretty sweet guesses

    I have the same noise. I also get it when I accelerate hard. it sounds like when the rear slider is open but louder.
