What 噝 means
It writes a hiss, sizzle, whistle, whizz, or fizz.
The Kangxi Dictionary, a Chinese reference book, records 噝 in 1716; that dates the entry, not the character’s origin. Repeating it in 噝噝聲 sustains the sound.
噝 writes a sound effect into Chinese prose.
For hoarseness or animal cries, use 嘶.
