Default is350 hissing noise from engine w/video

Already saw older threads, will probably take vehicle to a shop and diagnose. Car is all stock, sound is coming from right side of engine bay when facing it.

Use the cardboard tube from an empty paper towel roll and place it to your ear and listen. Maybe it's a vacuum leak? Hard to tell from video.

Hissing noise has disappeared for now..... but what was discovered is that the drivers side wheel hub needs replacing since it makes a clicking noise.
