I've noticed that my front shocks make a slight noise like some of the air or gas inside them is being release when I go over a speedbump. Do you guys hear this or is it leaking?

I have almost new KW Street Comfort coilover set and all shocks make a hissing sound. And the car just passed the annual inspection where they told me that shocks are in 100% shape.

are they gas or hydraulic fluid in these shocks? mine do the same 
If they are leaking, the nitrogen would be long gone, and fluid would appear on the outside of the struts.
