How can I reduce my vocal sibilance?
Angle the microphone: High frequency sounds are very directional. By angling the microphone so that it’s not in a direct line with the singer’s mouth you can reduce the amount of sibilance hitting the microphone directly. Plus, there’s the added benefit of reducing plosives (bursts of air from P,B sounds).
Does a pop filter help with sibilance?
A pop filter won’t do anything to help with sibilance. Once you find a microphone and distance combination that helps, try angling the microphone downward 10 to 15 degrees to place the 0-degree axis toward the throat instead of the sibilant source.

Why is the s sound so loud?
It’s most likely due to the compression on the audio rather than any setting on your device. However, those sounds live around the 4Khz mark so if you have a global EQ you can just turn that down a bit and it should help. If you find a higher quality source for your music and movies you shouldn’t have that problem.
How do I get my s sound to stop whistling?
A pronounced whistle is tough to treat. A dentist can try toning it down by thinning and polishing the teeth’s biting edges, adding bonding (possibly to the lower teeth) or redoing part of the treatment.
Is a sibilant s speech impediment?
Lisping is a speech disorder characterized by the inability to correctly pronounce the sounds of s or z, known as the sibilant consonants. Usually th sounds are substituted for the sibilants. The word “lisp,” for example, would be pronounced “lithp” by someone with this speech disorder.
What kHz is sibilance?

How do you stop your S’s from whistling?
Why do I whistle when saying s?
As a result of either too small a gap or too large a gap between the biting edges of the front teeth, the air forced through the gap in pronouncing the S sound can produce an extra whistle. In an adult, a newly whistling S is not a result of an inborn defect in the speech mechanism or an error in speaking.
Why do I say my S’s weird?
Many people, including both children and adults, have issues with lisping. A lisp is defined by difficulty pronouncing one or more letters resulting in the letters sounding jumbled over. Most people with a lisp have issues pronouncing an “S” or “Z” sound. This is known as a Lateral Lisp.
