I can't hear frequencies that high, so I'm going off the Audacity analysis =
of the "hiss only" recording. Would it help if I posted that on Soundcloud?=

I am noticing though this discussion a disconnect in the understood meaning=

Peter mentioned on his Soundcloud example, the hiss he was concerned with w=
as mostly below 5kHz. To my own ears the problematic microphone hiss noise =
in that recording was most prominent from 8 to 10 kHz.=0D

Even if it is clear that hiss refers to the "s" sound as heard in the word =
"hiss", that sound may fall into different frequency ranges depending on th=
e frequency response of hearing of the individual listener. For this reason=
, when discussing specific cases it may be helpful to describe important fr=
equencies or frequency ranges using frequency numbers rather than only subj=
ective terms like "hiss" or "high frequency."=0D
