I am sure it depends on the film.
With Kodalith, I found one side sounded different from the other if I
held the film vertical and glided my (dry) thumb over it. The emulsion
side sounded different from the back. I believe louder. It is not loud
in either case. This may also be true with your film. In the darkroom,
see if you can tell the difference in sound from one side to the other.
If you can, pick one side as the emulsion. load it in a film holder, and
expose it on something. If it is not sharp enough or exposed enough, the
side you picked is probably the wrong one.
