So I am reading what Ron W posted and...it loops me over to aerodynamics.
Hmm.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fricative
A particular subset of fricatives are the SIBILANTS (sometimes referred to
as stridents). When forming a sibilant, one still is forcing air through a
narrow channel, but in addition the tongue is curled lengthwise to direct
the air over the edge of the teeth.

THE TERM:
The term sibilant is often taken to be synonymous with the term strident,
though this is incorrect - there is variation in usage. The term sibilant
tends to have an articulatory or aerodynamic definition involving the
production of aperiodic noise at an obstacle. Strident refers to the
perceptual quality of intensity as determined by amplitude and frequency
characteristics of the resulting sound (i.e. an auditory, or possibly
acoustic, definition).
