I sneeze and yawn just like my dad, is that genetic or learned?

      As I grew up to be an adult, I am constantly reminded when I cough, that I sound like my dad coughing as he did when I was young. I didn’t grow up with my dad.

      Huh, that’s interesting. I’m not deaf, but I don’t make any sound except loud sudden exhale. Besides ADHD I am neurologically normal, if that matters.

      Edit: My dad sneezes turbo loud, btw.

        You’re totally normal and in fact it’s the people who are, consciously or unconsciously, choosing to vocalise the “ah-choo!” that are the weird ones, at least in my book.

        It actually really bugs me when people sneeze super loudly, I swear some people just do it for attention.

          I do it when I’m alone too, who would I get attention from?

          No idea why I make that sound, I don’t really think about it. When I try to suppress it it doesn’t feel right.

          It annoys the hell out of me too, especially in a quiet place like a library or park and some clown does the full AAH-CHOOO like a cartoon character.
