Is the regulator faulty?



I've started  kegging recently and in my  second batch of  keg (and my second CO2 tank) the first tank emptied itself really quickly because I had a leak somewhere in the system. With this new tank, my procedure is to pressurize the keg, then I turn the tank off. The regulator stays off most of the time. I just turn it on when I'm pouring a pint, then turn it back off again. While I'm pouring, naturally, I hear gas escaping, but after the pour the gas stops as I would expect. I just noticed something tonight, though. When I open the regulator half way, I hear gas escaping. If I open it further, or close it more, the sound stops. This happens even when I close the shutoff valve to the keg. Does this sound normal? Do I have something wrong with my regulator?
thanks
payton
