When I use pressure cooker, hissing sounds are produced and vapour comes out of the vent pipe.

4That might just be the way it’s designed - especially the vapour venting.– LawrenceCommented Dec 31, 2018 at 14:26

2That;s quite normal - so long as you've turned down the heat once it starts hissing, which reduces the noise a bit– BambooCommented Jan 1, 2019 at 1:30

Make sure the vent pipe is clean - when it's gets left-overs from previous cooking it starts making more noise - and the noise gets stranger and more high pitched.

To a certain extent, noise is unavoidable.
The pressure cooker must be able to vent, to avoid building up too much pressure. It vents through a small hole so it can build up some pressure, this is what makes a pressure cooker work (high pressure means a higher temperature).
If the vent gets larger, you'll get less noise but the pan won't be able to build pressure any more, making it pointless to use one instead of a normal pan.
