Are you my aunt? That’s exactly how she says geese. Her husband says geese as “gays” with a sibilant s rather than the hard s.

… how do you mean? S’s are sibilants in every variation I know if not silent like in French.

I’m three decades away from my last class, but I thought that the ess sound than an s makes is called a sibilant, where the z sound it makes isn’t.
Most people using the word “gays” will have it sound like gayz, or the word gaze. His is that sibilant s like in hissing
