It might.

Does the sound follow the space heater to a different outlet?

If you place your head between the space heater and the outlet, does the hissing sound come from the wall, or from the heater? Sometimes different sounds come from different sides of applicances, and these sounds can reflect off the wall.

A standard vacuum cleaner and some electric irons draw about the same current as a space heater. Is the sound present with either of those plugged into the same outlet instead?

It might be a snake, saying "thank you" for the warmth.
