Great saga.  I believe you.  I've experienced the same "hissing apples" 
once, don't recall exact circumstances.  I figured it was the juice in the 
freshly bit apple oozing around.

....Is there any use for a high fermenting apple? Cider? I was was told by a 
good
friend/cider maker than the faster the ferment, the lousier the cider as a 
rule, so
maybe that's out. And again, I suppose it could be the year. Many folks had
predicted this as a poor keeping year due to high rains and low light 
levels.
So ends the tale of the Acapella Apple,

PS the sound will not register on my computer mike, but maybe it would on 
something
professional quality. You'll just have to trust me that it talked, okay? I 
feel
like the singing frog Looney tunes episode, where the frog would only sing 
in front
of its owner, only pathetically croaking when brought to an audition.
