What is a hissing sound coming from the drivers side of your Mercedes ML350?
Just know that if that is happening you are in serious trouble as it means that your brakes are leaking. In MLs the brakes use air pressure so if there is a hissing sound it means air is leaking thus your brakes could possibly fail. The best solution is to go to a registered Mercedes Benz garage so they can fix the problem. Alternatively if you dont have the money you could pretend that there is no noise and eventually you brakes will fail and you'll be in an accident i.e. GET YOU BRAKES FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Why does it sound like air is seeping out when I press my brake pedal on my 1997 Chevy Tahoe.?
The power brakes on most vehicles operate on the engine vacuum. If there is a leak or problems with the power brakes it can make a hissing sound. But then, sometimes power brakes do that when they're working properly. It could be from either a hole in the diaphragm of the brake booster or normal operation. If the sound is new, and was not there before, and your brake pedal is going to the floor, then you should have the power booster replaced.
Why do brakes squeal only when lightly pressed?
This can be a normal situation or mechanical problem. Some brakes had natural squeal regardless of pad life or lubricant used. However many brake systems have squealers which make a sound alerting the pad life is at replacement stage.
What is the howling sound when stepping on the brakes in reverse in a 2000 Honda accord?
If a 2000 Honda Accord is making a howling noise when the brakes are pressed the rotor may be the issue. When a brake rotor becomes warped the wheel will not stop smoothly, and in turn create several different noises.
