Heavy "hiss" in brakes

I am on my 5th Civic in 20 years and besides my 2000 coupe, the 2016 is great! That being said, has anyone noticed the brakes have a very loud hiss? No matter the speed, temp, as long as the wheels are moving and the brakes are activated, you hear it until the car stops moving. Not the typical moisture, wheel cleaner, cold wheel hiss. I am the sole driver of the car and hear it obviously on the drivers side but have not had a chance to have someone drive it and sit as a passenger. I did note it in the Honda Survey but have not brought it back to the dealership since the brakes appear fine and work.

Nope, I hear nothing with my 2016 touring
Probably best to take it into the dealer, see what they can do about it.

Could be the brake booster or a vacuum leak somewhere. Best to bring it to the dealership even if the brakes are still functioning.
dooes the hiss get stronger as you put more pressure on the pedal?
I know I had a problem with my 2013 accord where the retaining clip was rubbing and created a noise when breaking and even turning
could even be a bearing, but that would be weird to have a bad bearing this early... hmmm
