Is there any genetic component to the way you sneeze?

Question

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.

Answer 1

I sneeze very hard and numerous times (10-15+). My husband had cancer. I always went with him to him chemo treatments. One day I sneezed and the nurses came running. They said they had never heard anyone sneeze that hard. No one else in my family has hard sneezes. I’ve pulled back muscles I sneeze so hard.
