Is there any genetic component to the way you sneeze?

All of my friends, they sneeze very quietly, like a small “achoo” and that’s it but when I sneeze, I do it like a dad of four married kids, turning the heads of the entire room, which is very similar to the way both my mom and dad sneeze and that got me wondering.

Just for the record, there’s at least some genetic component to how we sneeze because of the hereditary aspect of the [photic sneeze reflex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_sneeze_reflex?wprov=sfla1)
