Out of ideas.
thomasben:
So I just got a new tap rite regulator hooked it up tested for leaks. Nothing at all. Problem is this...if I out my ear up really close to the regulator I can hear the tank running gas still. Even minutes later. Sounds like a tiny leak but I'm positive its not. Anyone ever heard of this before?
thomasben:
Its almost like I can hear this faint whisp. Its been 5 minutes and its lessening. Still there though. Tank would have run out long ago if it was a leak but for months this tank has been going strong

Shut off the tank and see if you still hear it.
thomasben:
I did. It stops immediately

I would assume it is a leak then. Did you check the connection between the CO2 tank and the regulator?
I'm really just asking the question here, but could the leak be inside the regulator? A pin hole in the diaphragm or a seal? Maybe the pipe going into the regulator head?
Sorry that I only have questions and no answers. I am intrigued to see what others think.
