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!

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.

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..
