car making funny noises?

so i've got 14k miles on my pro and i start hearing this noise. it sort of sounds like a hissing coming from the front-right. plus, it only seems to happen when i'm turning right - nothing when i turn left. but it was very very faint - so faint that it took me 15 min driving around with the mechanic to get him to hear the same noise. so the dealer looks at it and they say it's just the normal operating noise of the car. ok...

a couple weeks later i'm driving and i hear the same hissing noise, but much more noticeable. but it only happens every so often and i have no idea what's causing it. but when it does happen, when i turn left it stops and when i turn right it keeps making the noise - kind of similar to above. so i take it back to the dealer and they turn around and tell me that they didn't find anything wrong with it again and look at me like i'm making up the noises myself or something. but as i'm driving back from the dealer i hear the noise again.

so i was just wondering if anyone has heard of any problems like this before or any ideas on what it might be so i can give the dealer something to go on. the car is still under warranty so i'd like to get them to fix it for me.

thanks,
g-rel

when i hear the noise and brake, it seems to keep making the noise while i'm slowing down. but once i come to a stop and then start driving again, the noise is usually gone.

idk then, b/c i have a noise too in the front right. But it goes away when i press the brakes. i need to go to the dealer to find out whata wrong. some person on the board had a same prob as mine, and some said it might have been a warped rotor. so i dont know what to think.
