Perhaps you know someone who sneezes so hard that everything around them shakes (or perhaps you yourself belong to this category of people).
Today we suggest that you look into the reasons that influence the volume of a sneeze.
They can be divided into two groups: psychological and anatomical.
Let's start with the first: according to neurologist Alan Hirsch, sneezing is determined by a person's personal qualities and individual characteristics.
Another factor is social pressure: no one forces men to restrain themselves and behave quietly, so they usually sneeze loudly.
At the same time, some women consciously hold back their sneezing.
As for the other category of reasons related to anatomy, the decisive role in the loudness of the sneeze belongs to the size and capacity of the lungs.
Finally, the way you sneeze is also important: if through your mouth, it will be louder, and if through your nose, it will be wetter and dirtier.
