Default leakdown test results, help!!

hey, i've just attempted to do a leakdown test using my DIY effort that i made but i think i need a restrictor in the airline to get proper readings...

however.. i can hear air escaping through the filler cap & dispstick tube on all cylinders, about the same amount of air escaping by the sounds of it..

should i hear anything at all coming from the crankcase? i know that the rings will always leak a little, even on new engines but it is usually enough to actually hear it? or is it a case of "if you can hear it, the rings are likely shot!" ??

cheers.
