Default Funny noise directly behind the center console and seats

Does anyone have this Funny "PSSS...PSSS" sound directly behind the seats in the middle of the car. I can hear it while sitting in the drivers seat. Could it be the fuel pump and is it normal? Thanks.

Not there to hear it but usually the sound you described is an exhaust leak, get under it and listen to it idle to rule this out first.

How far back do you slide your seat back? If you slide it ALL THE WAY back and lean it back, the sub enclosure or glove box cover will rub against the back of the seat.

it's a copperhead, do not mess with it! I actually can hear the same thing in my car, it's not a constant psss but like every second or something, i think it's the fuel pump...btw my seat does not rub on the panel behind it, so i know its not that. i can only hear it when idling when everything is quiet, no exhaust leaks here

It sounds like the fuel pump. I don't rub the plastics behind the seat. But the noise is there. Anyone else have this problem? Hope my fuel pump isn't going faulty.
