      Wait, "pspspsps"? Where are you from? I thought only Greeks do "pspspsps".

        pspspsps is biological , it's common noise to get a cats attention (in many places) because it stimulates their prey drive.

          maybe the phoneme sequence of plosive -> sibilant is easy to discern from background noise?
