It's not quite the equivalent of a wolf whistle, which usually feels invasive and condescending. “Sssst" is a call to connect, ideally perhaps leading to some other end, but also quite content to end at an exchange of a few words.
It can be ignored with no harm done. You may have to endure one last, long, loud, "sssssssst”. That overcome, you're free.
A Havana man's version of street harassment is overall pretty friendly, driven more by curiosity than by lechery, and also by a healthy degree of optimism - which i admire them for maintaining, all things considered.
the first morning i opened my balcony doors, this was meters from my nose
minutes later, it was sssst, sssst to the next babe walking by
