Brake Question

This morning when backing out of my garage, I lifted off the brake pedal and heard a hissing sound almost like the sound that is made when you squeeze a turkey baster. It did this consistently on my drive in to work every time I lifted off the brake pedal. Any thoughts as to what this could be? I have an appointment on Monday 1/9/17 for other issues (panoramic roof rattle & brakes constantly squeaking) Thanks!

Any change in apparent pedal pressure?

No change in brake pressure. They seem to be functioning ok, just wondering what could be wrong or if they are going to fail between now & Monday.

One can only speculate but I'd err on the side of caution. Park it.

Does it make any sounds when you press on the brake pedal?

No, no sounds when I press on the brake pedal, just when I release.

May be the rubber bellows on the brake pedal cylinder expanding / opening up.

my car does this, much much more evident in the cold, every car I've driven makes a sort of deflating noise when brake pedal is released though..
