So it sounds like an exhaust system in your wheel? Never heard that one before..

Probably a hole in the exhaust pipe up front or the pipe is completely broken. Idle the engine and block the tailpipe with a rag. Pressure should build up quietly. If you hear a change in the noise up front, like a hissing, or there is no pressure at all, you have a faulty exhaust pipe.
