2003 Brakes Hissing

[Biff]

Everytime I tap my breaks I hear a hissing sound, kinda like air being release from the break lines. I have no problems breaking but the hissing sound is getting anoying. Has anyone else experienced this?

Mine hiss. 03 SR5 2WD V6. Others have mentioned it in the past. Not all of them do it. I'm guessing Toyota has used different master cylinder designs along the same year. I've driven other identical 4runners to mine with no hiss and different braking performance.
