Weird hissing sound in cabin when building pressure? (fk7)

[kanyeasasda]

I drive a 2018 honda civic sport touring hatchback. I don't know what recently caused this, but every time I drive and build pressure I get this weird hissing/air leak sound coming from right behind the glove compartment box. It's linked to the turbo pressure as the sound becomes more obvious and loud when I create more boost pressure. I know what turbo spooling sounds like, and this is not it. This sound isn't normal and I test drove a few other friends' fk7 hatches and none of them have this issue. I'm not sure if this is a boost leak but I don't really notice any sort of loss of boost pressure or power. I was tuned for a little bit with 1.5r phearable but only for a month or so as I valued gas mileage more. My car is relatively close to stock so I don't know what could be causing this. From visual inspection of my engine it looks completely fine.

Mod LIst:
prl catted downpipe
borla s type exhaust
ktuner v2 (stock tune (plus p3108/9 and p0420 disabled for downpipe) atm)
38k Miles

Did you ever figure this out? Having this exact issue with my fk7 too throttle feels normal no drop in power just a hissing behind the glove box

Could this be AC noise? My car makes a hiss noise as the refrigerant moves through the expansion valve.

I checked for that I ran the car to 2-3k rpm ac off still same hissing though revved the car in Neutral to see if it’s a exhaust leak just in case and nothing all I can think of now is a boost leak somewhere or a vacuum leak

I have the same problem after they told me it's normal but I know it's not. I'm currently going back and fort through them, I'll keep you updated as soon as I get answers

Any updates? My 2017 hatchback sport is making the same noise in the same area.
