Default engine sounds

When my car is at idle and I pop the accelerator pedal down to take the rpm up to about 2500 - 3000 - I hear a short hiss before the revs come up. Is this a normal sound? If not, any ideas on what it might be? Thanks in advance.

My 02 coupe has the same hissing noise. I heared it one day when I had the hood up while playing with my new toy! I think this noise is normal for all new corvette models. I hope!
