HELP needed - Vacuum leak ?

Hi,

when I replaced the air filter this weekend and started the engine with the engine cover off I noticed a LOUD hissing sound every time when I step on the throttle and also when I let off the throttle.

I did the usual tricks looking for a vacuum leak but couldn't find anything.

It seems to me that the noise is coming from the area which is circled red in the attached picture.

Any ideas / hints etc?
BTW: does anyone know the purpose of this big tube which is circled?

Thanks
