Sean's advice is good!
If you even after being helped by a good teacher still have a more noisy than normal breath, then I would suggest, that you have your lungs checked by a medical specialist.
My asthma was discovered rather late in my life. It would not have developed as much if it had been treated much earlier.
This not said to scare you. Asthma does not exactly make brass playing easier, but one can learn to deal with it. And a good breathing technique helps managing the asthma problems when you are away from your instrument.
