As it says - our bathroom sink hot tap runs silently but the cold from the mains hisses loudly. We have vigorous mains pressure. Is there some kind of silencer or reducer I could incorporate in the pipework like we have in the cistern, or would simply part-closing the isolator valve help?
 
Half-shut isolators are also noisy. You could fit a proper flow regulating device or a pressure reducing valve somewhere (else?). See bes.ltd.uk
