After doing some 'lite' offroading noticed an unusual sound form underneath the vehicle, almost like a hissing sound like an aircraft or something.

Under the hood, the engine sounds normal .... seems to originate from the middle of the vehicle , ie noticable when opening the driver door.

position of the transmission doesnt seem to affect, or reving the engine, stops immed. after turning off vehicle.

no visible leaks , or change in drivability...

The undercarriage didnt seem to drag or anything during the offroading, and at the most might have been a small branch...

Any ideas what it could be ?

Hello. No offense, but your message might be a little too general. Is this a hissing noise or a whinning noise? Some things to check to start off: squeaky belts (particularly if your motor got wet), vacuum leaks, foreign object caught up in moving parts. Once I found a very small stick caught up in an electric fan that created a horrible noise. If you did only light wheelin' it's probably something easy. Good luck.
