CA Strange Buzz Then Hissing Noise Near Rear of Car

i noticed a funny thing with my car yesterday...

after parking & shutting off the engine, i noticed and audible buzzing sound coming from the rear end of the car- seems louder near the rear right wheel. then after it buzzed for about 2 or 3 minutes, the car makes a single loud "hiss" sound- ie like a single loud burst of air being let out of a tire or something. then complete silence.

any ideas what this might be? it's almost like my car has to burp itself after the engine is turned off. very weird...
