Narrative:
Upon advancing throttles for takeoff, I noticed a hissing sound from the captain's side window - window appeared closed and locked. Hissing sound worsened and I elected to discontinue the takeoff roll at approximately 70 KTS. I cleared the runway. Confirmed that the window was closed and locked (it was). Reopened and reseated the window and proceeded without incident. Can only guess that the window was not seated properly initially.
