funny "air" noise from under car

I have a 1991 Camaro. And some times after getting out of my car, and after I close the door. There is an "air puff" (like and an air bag deflateing) from under the car. It lasts for about half a second.

What is that

It sounds like it come from the rear, so I dont think its the radiator.

Whenever you slam your door, it pressurizes the cabin, and that's just the air escaping out of a gap somewhere. More than likely anyway.

96lt1Camaro:
I never use my AC

DonHood:
I think it also happens when my t-tops are off.
I double check though.
