You could test this theory by jacking the car up and clamping some heavy weight to the most exposed section of the exhaust.

There is a couple of old threads on the hiss. The throttle blades go wide open just off idle. The speed is controlled by inlet valve lift and injector dwell time. The hiss comes from the throttle blades being open and no fuel being injected. Creating vacuum being pulled through the throttle bodies. That's what I read any way.
