Does this sound like a boost leak?

2014 WRX with no modifications and 35,xxx on the clock. Noise started this morning on the way to work.

Thank you! This is my first issue with this car.

If you are turning up boost on the stock hose, I noticed on mine (08) after going above 17psi, the hose would come off seemingly regardless of how tight I have it.

When I went to a bigger turbo (vf39) I reused the hose and noticed two black soft silicone skirts on the ends of the harder silicone hose. Basically the softer silicone slides right off the throttle body for me.

My solution was to remove the soft skirts and only use the harder silicone hose clamped down tight. Works like a charm, NEVER popped the hose off after that at 19+ psi.
