It's funny---the noise doesn't bother me, but when I picked up the freshly molted one, she hissed and I got startled. For some reason I didn't expect the white one to hiss---or some part of my brain re-classified the white one as a different creature or something. It was totally unconcious.
I understand how the hissing works as a defence mechanism, at least the first time something tries to eat one.
