Air con makes strange hissing noises

1999 SL500, 118k miles.

The air conditioner in my car intermittently makes a hissing noise for about 3 seconds every 30 seconds or so. It sounds like it is exhaling or breathing out. The sound comes from the centre vent nozzles. It does not happen when the "EC" button is pressed (i.e. the air conditioner is disengaged). I am not sure how well the air conditioning function is working (it's not very hot around here at the moment); it seems to be OK but not particularly brilliant. Any ideas?
