Reduce hissing when steam radiator vents release air

is there a way to reduce the hissing for steam radiator vents? I just reduced the pressure today on my resideo pressure gauge. It was set to 3PSI, I set it to 1psi. The hissing to release the air is a still a bit loud.
Really would like some help. I am willing to spend the time to fix it up

maybe you can lower more, you could always dial it back up if the trol won't restart the burner,
is the pigtail clear?
can the Ptrol see the boiler pressure?
pictures?
