I can hear air leaking out somewhere but I have no idea where! It doesnt sound like its near the throttle body, but instead sounds loudest by the intake manifold. Are there any lines by the intake mani that are notorious for leaking?
 
if you are sure its not the tb, then it could be leaking straight from the intake mani. the gasket could be giving. there are a few valves running off the mani, but they would be pretty obvious. do u have a aftermarket boost gauge?
 
When my throttle body leaked it didnt sound like thats where it was either, you need to figure out some way to pin point it. Use soapy water or the way i found it was feeling around and if you hear the air get diverted and change sounds, thats where it is.

IS this sound you'r ehearing during a boost leak test or while operating the vehicle?
