What do your sneezes sound like?

Mine is "huh-CHOO!" Unless it gets caught halfway, and then it's just "hutch!"

Mine is a deafening roar. Unless it gets caught halfway, and then it's just "starsky!"

My dad, by the way, is a three-syllable guy and a record-holding serial sneezer (we counted 35 once). His is "a-cheech... CHOO!"

Like a sneeze. Duh.

Hut! Bishoo!

mine is "aaahhh!-CHOO" and the aaahh bit sounds like I'm gasping in fright. Which is not good when I'm a passenger in a car, always freaks out the driver.

My mother sneezes "choo-AH" which has always pissed me off. Get it the right way!

The "ah" portion of my sneeze is typically very brief, while the "choo" portion tends to be more of a "chid'd'd'd'd'd'd" -- like my tongue is trilling on my teeth.

I should probably have that checked out.

According to my cats, they sound like the Dark Reaper of Kitten Souls coming to collect, which is why they run out of the room whenever I sneeze.

I have no idea what my sneeze sounds like, but next time I feel one coming on I will try to get my digital camera turned on in time to record it and then I will post it to youtube!

Dude. Either that, or they've gotten tired of you spitting on them.

Morgan (the dog I got shortly before my cat died) goes on an insane barking spree if I start coughing and wake her up, but otherwise does not react at all to coughing or sneezing.

I think I'm often more of a one-syllable sneezer. The "ahhh" part is something I always suppress -- if I feel one coming on I breathe in verrrry slowly through my nose, and sometimes it actually has the calming effect I want.

Then I go "CHOOF!"

Like an armadillo being thrown into a china cabinet three times in succession.

Oddly, they're rather tiny and cute. Someone once referred to it as a Fievel sneeze.

Like nasal depth charges. I hate to sneeze, and my eyes water, and my chest hurts, and my nose stings, my dog looks ashamed of me, and people evacuate for blocks.

I wish it could be different, and that windows were't so fragile.

Depends. If I'm trying to be ladylike, it comes out a dainty "skew!" If I'm home and letting it all hang out, "WHACHOOOO!!!!"
