Noise voice hi-hats without frying my ears

ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION
My closed hat patch works quietly and turns into sandpaper after five minutes. Shorter decay helps, but then it disappears in the mix.

Anybody have a gentler starting point?

Lower the level before adding length. A tiny pitch change can move the harshest part too. Test on the worst speaker you own.

Use fewer hats. I keep solving sound-design problems by deleting every second trigger.
