I have noticed recently that when i am doing cardio workouts i can hear air escaping from my lungs when i hold my breath. like the valve won't close.

Don't bear down: Your lungs are not meant to be a closed container. More importantly, if you're doing cardio, there's no reason to be holding your breath. By definition, you should be breathing freely, and continuously during aerobic exercise.
