Does this sound normal?

I just did an oil change the hard way by removing all the panels below the car and replace the oil filter. The oil was pretty dark once I drained it out.

My car now sounds different like it's sucking in air or hissing. It drives like normal, but noise is a bit different.

I recorded the sound. The air sucking noise is a bit hard to hear in the video thought. Is this normal?

make sure none of the plastic under the car is flopping around thats my first guess. look for leaks without the AC on :p idle it for a few mins look around with a flashlight. i replaced my air filter didn't put the panel back on top of the engine right got a light immediately fixed that. good luck
