if I remember right from reading around these valves shouldn't be hissing like that and there should be next to no suction at idle if the valve is operating correctly, can anybody confirm this or am I getting faulty information?

P.S.

when holding the valve in my hand I can feel vibrations coming from it while vacuum is being applied to it.
It sounds like there is a hole in the PCV hose where it meets the intake. This could definitely be why you have been running lean since there is unmetered air entering the engine.
