The only hiss I get, is when I first open the bottle and it transfers from the bottle to the empty line. Might want to check your line routing and connections.

my guess would be 900+ psi going through a little *** nozzle. Mine used to make a noise when spraying too.

LOL your right, I might not here mine since Its through a plate. But I'm sure it's not loud like the fast and furious makes it.

I sprayed for awhile then noticed a hissing outside while spraying, its just the system working and running through the nozzle I would assume. Unless all of us that said its usual have the same problem. lol
