  2005 Grand Caravan SXT / engine detonation and some noise = ?

Hi,

I own a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT / 3.8L

Last fall I've noticed some strange noise:
- it is a blowing sound (like a pressurized air escaping from
somewhere)
- I can clearly hear it only from inside, with all windows closed
(i.e. when no outside noise is heard)
- it cannot be heard under the hood or from outside / probably because
other engine noises are masking it
- it apparently comes from where the hood release lever / parking
break release lever are located, but noise source is somewhere deeper
- noise changes with engine revs not only when I step on gas, but also
when I'm driving down the hill on an "L" gear, which makes revs go up
without touching the pedals

It did not lead to any problems, and my mechanic did not find anything
suspicious, so I left it as is (again, _since_last_fall_)
