Is a relay making my car hiss?

Hey guys

Theres something weird going on. If a barely step on the gas pedal i can hear a really high pitched hiss as the pressure on the pedal increases the pitch of the hiss changes and goes away after the pedal is pushed in about a quarter.

What do you think its causing this? My friend said its a relay/electrical problem.

Does it sound like it is coming from near your brake pedal? If it does, check the vacuum line for the cruise control if you have it installed. It's on the brake pedal.
