Well, I suspect it isn't audible to a listener. But I hear it and I don't want it there. I'd still be interested to know whether the difference is somewhere in the facing or elsewhere in the mouthpiece.

I prefer playing with relatively little embouchure pressure, although playing double lip as I do, I *can* close my lips more firmly if necessary, and that often gets rid of the noise, but at the expense of my endurance. Point is, though, the mouthpieces that don't sizzle don't require the extra pressure unless the reed is just too hard.
