Seventy percent of individuals sneeze more loudly than the average person might expect. The mechanics behind a loud sneeze involve several factors. When a person sneezes, it’s due to irritants in the nasal passages triggering a reflex. This reflex causes a sudden expulsion of air at speeds up to 100 mph. The volume of the sneeze can be influenced by the size of the nasal passages and the force of the expelled air. To reduce the noise of a sneeze, one can try to sneeze into a soft material or partially cover the mouth to dampen the sound. These statistics and tips provide insight into the science of sneezing and how to manage its loudness.
