Is it bad if you can hear air coming from the sub...?

I'm listening to the THX-Ultimate Sub test right now. First thing is my ears feel funny, like their bleeding or something, secondly I think your hearing the sub's drivers rapidly thumping and not actually hearing air. I think the track is supposed to do that. But I'm not an engineer or supreme audio-phile so we'll wait for one of them to reply to get the technical reason!

yes, it IS air coming out of the port.

the port has a tuning frequency, and when you have a lot of ouptut below that frequency, and the port is not big enough, you can hear more air than actual bass.

it's perfectly normal, nothing to worry about.
