Default Hissing noise under load

I have a 2001 Neon 2.0 Liter ES that just started to make a hissing noise when accelerating. I can only hear the noise when the engine is under load.

Has anybody ever had this issue before?

Sounds like some sort of vacuum leak then? Check the PCV and vacuum lines for cracks.
