Default Weird hissing from under the hood...

Was under the hood and heard a weird noise. Kinda like air escaping from a hose. Listened more closely and it sounds like it's coming from where the throttle body meets the tube that leads to my air box. When I hit the throttle cable, it whistles so thats why I'm guessing it has to do with the intake. You can make it out even when the hood is closed. Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

Thanks!
