Loud or quiet. Preference and personal.

[Light]

So this is part (m/self) observation, part question for those who want to share.

So has any one ever sneezed so hard that even muffled in your sleeve or a tissue it was still loud as ever?

 

This just happened to me at work. A quick out of nowhere sneeze that I covered with my sleeve and was still loud enough for people in the next office over to bless me. 😳

Anyone had a similar experience?

Also, what are your preferences concerning sneeze volume? Do you like louder, quieter, or somewhere in between?

[NoV]

In terms of my own preference, I have always enjoyed louder, violent and uncontrollable sneezes over quiet ones ... at least they are the ones that get my immediate attention  

I'm not really sure about my own sneezes - probably about average I would guess. I sneeze very rarely around anyone else, but I have never got any comment as to them being any larger than was expected...

[JolliLolli]

I mostly agree with NoV. Though in certain scenarios I enjoy quieter sneezes more. 

As for my own sneezes, I can't remember any specific moments where they were loud even when I muffled them, but I'm pretty sure it HAS happened.

[SneezyHolmes]

As far as preference goes, I adore loud sneezes that are noticeable from even a small distance away from the source. My own tend to range from either loud or fairly quiet. 

[Joal 555]

Generally speaking I prefer quieter sneezes. That's not to say I can never a enjoy a loud sneeze, but they are usually less appealing to me.

My own sneeze is pretty quiet (always stifled), but as I don't sneeze in public, that's a personal choice more than anything else.

I usually don't sneeze very loud. At least no one has blessed me within the past years, so I suppose they never heard me when I sneezed in my room (which is basically the only place I sneeze) . It's some kind of forceful, spraying sound, so not that quiet either. 

 I don't like it when a sneeze is overly vocalized, such as the ones that sound like a scream or really high-pitched stifles. So it's mainly somewhere in between, I guess. Quiet ones are also okay, as long as one can still hear it. Silent sneezes are somehow unsatisfying to me :'D 

[Luisa39]

Okay, I admit it -- I hate loud, "vocalized" sneezes.  They actually scare me.  High-pitched stifles are okay, but those full-voiced "yell" or "scream" sneezes?  Just...no.

I myself am a quiet sneezer most of the time, thank goodness.

I despise obnoxiously loud sneezes, which my brother does - you know, the type that makes you jump in shock. I don't mind reasonably loud sneezes, however. My boyfrieI enjoy nd sneezes rather loudly (when he is not stifling his sneezes) and in a high-pitched manner, which is adorable. And now and then, he will sneeze a quite loud and violent/powerful sneeze, which I absolutely 100% enjoy. I enjoy some vocalisation of the sneeze, rather than a mere spraying sound.

I love loud sneezes. The louder the better. I like the obnoxious ones, I like the screamed ones, I like the vocalized ones, I like the nasal ones, I like sort of snarling/roaring ones... pretty much any big, loud sneeze does it for me. sometimes a quieter sneeze is nice, BUT I hate stifles. I would almost rather they not sneeze than a stifle. 

I've never had a situation where I've tried to muffle my sneezes and they were still too loud. Usually I just let fly, tbh. Covering with a tissue or sneezing into an elbow doesn't really "muffle" the sound much at all.

I like loud sneezes as long as they are genuine. I don’t like fake or over acted ones where someone exaggerates a real one for attention.

I totally agree with you here - there is nothing sexier than when someone has a large sneeze and can do nothing to control them, but making it intentionally loud or forced spoils it for me  

[Holdbacks]

Hmm, this is interesting. I don't feel hot that people who sneeze so blatantly. I don't know. I like loud sneeze with more sensuality.

[snzycg]

I've NEVER been a fan of super loud, obnoxious sneezes. If I had to choose I'd pick quiet ones- but only if they have detail (if that makes sense?) Like if you can still hear what's going on haha

Hello, it is already too late to bless you?
I understand that it was an aggravating situation for you, but sometimes something like that happens in your life, nobody can forsee situations like this. It's a good question - if I had to decide, for me it always depends on the person who sneezes. I prefer quieter, up to medium vocalized sneezing. Very loud or screamed sneezes are a bit daunting for me - but if I know the person is allergic to something / or has catched a cold, I try to ignore it, or to bless them too, even if it does not match my preference.
