Air Leak??

I had my engine on and I was trying to check my winter tire air pressure... and at the rear right tire, I heard air leaking sound.. it was loud that i could notice it right away... so, i figured some nails or some sharp oject got into tire and was casuing air leaking sound.. so, i jacked my car up and removed rim and checked the tires but no signs of puncture nor nails or sharp objects.. i wanted to find out where that air leak sound was coming from so i turned on the engine and i heard air leaking again w/o my rims on.... where is that sound coming from??? is it normal?? anybody experienced this noise????

I've heard that noise and it's the electric fuel pump in the tank. No worries.
