What kind of audio panel do you have. Had a problem with one once that had an option of using side tone to activate the intercom. This didn't work worth beans. changed it to the voice activated method and all that extra noise went away.

        Sounds like a problem with the headset.  Have you tried a        different headset?

                Thank you  
                
                I have done all you have  described.
                No Radio ,Radio switch off, just the intercom on .                Alternator disconnected ,Pulled fuse, When I disconnect                 the mic, Pull plug Hissssss goes away.
                Hand over Mic does not have any affect also.
                
                The ANR head set removes much of the cabin noise just                not the hisssss. 
                
                Very confused I am thinking something with the mic                circuit.

Ron,
                  
 
                  
Most electrical noise related to engine speed are                    different than what you are describing (ignition                    pulse or alternator whine). As others have suggested                    you need to find the source.  In your original post                    you suspected the mike.  Unplug the mike while                    listening to the ATIS to test it out.  Turn off your                    radios to see if they are the source of the noise.                     Since this noise is related to engine speed, try                    turning off your alternator.  Try a passive headset                    to see if your electrical system is somehow messing                    with the noise canceling electronics.
                  
 
                  
Good luck.

                  Ron,
                  
                  Doesn't your intercom have squelch?  If it does then                  you shouldn't hear any 
                  noise from the mike.  I flew my plane with no interior                  for some time and 
                  expected it to be a lot quieter with upholstery.  I                  used cloth over 1/4" 
                  foam.  The effect on the noise level was                  disappointing.  I used a sound 
                  level meter to measure the difference with and without                  upholstery and there 
                  was only a 2db drop.  Hardly enough to even notice.
                  
                  Your mileage may vary.
