Usually when they are disturbed, they will force air through their nostrils to make a hissing sound.
If the turtle has a runny nose or bubbly nose, then that is a sign of illness. Otherwise, the hissing is quite normal and many species of turtles will do it to show they are annoyed by your presence.
