[±strident]
The feature [+strident] characterises phonemes that are realised with high frequency frication, that is, high pitch white noise.
[–strident] phonemes are realised at lower pitch.
Because it is defined on the basis of air turbulence, [±strident] is important only for obstruents ([–sonorant]).
Clements (2001:111): “The feature [+strident] is realized phonetically in the turbulence noise associated with obstruents.”

The most common [+strident]
phonemes are the fricatives /s, z, ʃ, ʒ/
and the affricates /ts, dz, tʃ, dʒ/, often
collectively referred to as sibilants.

Assimilation of [±strident]
Obvious cases of assimilation of
[±strident] are rare.
I‟ve only ever found one possible
case:
In Plains Cree “plain” /t/‟s become
[+strident] affricates [ʦ] when they
occur with a diminutive affix: -(i)s or
-(i)sis:

Regressive assimilation of [+strident]
from the diminutive suffix?
An association line is added between
a [+strident] feature of the diminutive
suffix and any preceding /t/…

Assibilation
A process in which a stop
becomes [+strident], usually
preceding a high vowel.

Acoustic explanation
Narrow channel which is created in the transition between a stop and a following high vowel generates an especially long turbulence, which speakers interpret as a [+strident] feature on the stop.

Kim (2001)
“The generation of air turbulence in the
context of phonological assibilation is
phonologically interpreted as the
insertion of the feature [+strident] into
the feature complex characterising the
plosive in a plosive + high vocoid
sequence, with the deletion of the
previous feature [–strident], if present.”
