I don't know why, but the way I sneeze has always been sort of like a cough, so when I sneeze around people they always have to ask if that was a sneeze or a cough before commenting.

Do you have a weird sneeze?

My sneeze is like a sonic boom. I honestly have no idea how I expel air with so much violent force.
lmaooo @ Chevy
What a treasure, I need to watch this show at some point.
My godfather used to hold in his sneezes and he ended up getting a sackpocket of phlegm or whatever visibly behind his ear that needed to be surgically removed.
So don't hold in your sneezes. I tell this to everyone I hear/see do it.
I try and turn/transition my sneeze directly into a blow, because it looks better and more controlled.
Totally! My sounds like this:
Aaachooouuueeuueiiiwiiwiexcuuuhhuuuuuucuuooooooo.
What does your sound like?
Aaachooouuueeuueiiiwiiwiexcuuuhhuuuuuucuuooooooo.
What does your sound like?

Nah. There is a guy who used to work the other side of a massive office (200 people a floor or so and you could hear him from the other corner of the floor). It wasn't a call center necessarily; 50% analysts but those with customers on the line had to repeat some words at least once a day.
You do have some degree of control over how your sneezes sound. A lot of people don't realize that they're "talking" or sometimes outright yelling when sneezing, and it affects the sound of the sneeze. I'm pretty conscious of what I do when I sneeze, so I generally don't talk or yell while sneezing, but I think that causes my sneeze to sound irregular because of how a "normal" sneeze sounds. If your sneeze is really loud, then you're probably yelling while you do it, and you CAN stop doing it as long as you're conscious of it and put in some effort.
I'd argue that it's considered more normal to the average person. A lot of people don't realize that they're talking or yelling while sneezing. If you're conscious of it and stop doing it, then your sneeze will probably sound abnormal to people.
I mean it doesn't sound like a SOUND EFFECT approximated as "achoo" as an onomatopoeia it sounds like me saying the words "ah choo"
Whenever I have to sneeze it is always in 3 consecutive bursts, like achoo, achoo, ACHOOOOOOO. I always thought it was weird when everyone else just does one burst.
That's because you're probably saying "AAA" during the leadup and "CHOO" when you sneeze. It's very common, and you can control it.
Lol, First thing I thought of.
Uh, how did he notice? Cause I kinda feel like there's something "stuck" in my left ear from a bad cold but my ENT doctor says there's nothing there. It still bothers me from time to time.
According to my dad, he had a bulbous protrusion behind his ear. He may or may not have been bullshitting me. Googling it, comes up with nothing lol
But you can blow a hole in your throat holding in a sneeze:
Man Ruptures His Throat By Stifling A Big Sneeze, Prompting Doctors' Warning
Not long after he suppressed a powerful sneeze, the patient's neck began swelling, crackling and popping. It was a rare case — and he recovered — but doctors say there's a moral here: Just let it rip.

Haha, I see. Yeah it's more of a minor annoyance for me. But damn that story is scary AFAccording to my dad, he had a bulbous protrusion behind his ear. He may or may not have been bullshitting me. Googling it, comes up with nothing lol
