Default weird noise??

about a week ago i was drive home from work with the radio off. i started to notice a hissing/spooling noise after my rpms drop down. my car is stock no aftermarket performance parts. the noise reminds me of my bro wrx when it spools or a quiet bov.

any suggestions on what to look out for?

its a 02 with about 137,XXX miles on it,

thanks for the help.

It's not that type of noise, it's a rotational sound I would say.

Rotational, everyone once in awhile. I think when im on the gas from a sit still, but if im easy on the gas its seems to be fine. i really just ignored but i shouldn't.
