Yeah, I certainly don't mean to imply that suns are the loudest, but it seems to be a question that comes up a lot.
My family used to have an Umbrella Cockatoo and he was much, much louder - no contest. But he also didn't scream that often. Stewie isn't a terrible screamer by sun conure standards, but he does get into these screaming fits and I frequently have no idea what set him off.
As for the "shhh" sound... I read somewhere -- not sure how reliable the information is however -- that shhhushing sounds too much like a snake hissing, so it tends to upset parrots because they're hyper-aware of predators. Take it with a grain of salt, but that's one explanation for why shhhh doesn't work.
