Hissing from Front of Car

I have a 2001 Mazda Tribute with 118000 miles on it that has a hissing noise which sounds like it's coming from the front left wheel well. I just had all of the shocks and struts changed on the vehicle and when I press on the brakes the noise stops. Any suggestions on what that noise could be comming from?

Thanks --T--
