Valve hissing

The valve to one radiator is hissing. It's a one pipe steam system with a new vent, and that vent is working well. But there is a hissing sound from that valve. I don't feel any air or steam escaping that area, nor does there appear to be any wetness on the floor near the valve. I'm wondering what to do about this sound. Replace the valve? Something else?

Is the valve all the way open?0

what type of valve do you have? some of the cheaper brands of air valves tend to misbehave.
Could you post a picture of it?I just earned my GED and am looking for a apprenticeship with one of these steam gurus on this site!0 -
I'll double check that it's all the way open, but I think it is. Here is a pic. Can you identity the type?
