How does it Sound to You?

Okay first of all we all know what a sound is Hearing sounds can differ from people to people. For example; a chicken shouts Cockadoodledoo in the U.S. while here in the Philippines it sounds like tiktilaok, and the frog goes ribbit there and kokak here. Those were common but what I want to know is how does your sneeze sound? I have heard many people sneeze before and I can say every one sounds different from the other. The Hatchoo! is common in the west and in here Hatching! is common. Me, I have a quite unique way of sneezing I usually sneeze two times successively and it sounds like Hatching ching. There was one time I sneezed three times successively and the third sneeze somehow drained all my strength and it sounded Hatching ching Hatching. How about you guys how does your sneeze sound? Are there any instance that you've heard someone sneeze that sounded peculiar or unique? Imagine we can make a symphony out of those sounds- just think of the sound not the actual sneezing because that would be disgusting specially when an individual does not cover his/her mouth during the process

hmm, a very interesting topic by the way. in my country the chicken makes "kukurigu" and the frog makes kfak, but when someone sneeze it sounds like that apchihuu It is really interesting how the same animals sounds in the different countries and languages. maybe they also have their national language

Sorry for I have responded here very very late. I just got back from a long offline vacation Anyway animals having their own national language would be a nice theory why does animals sound differently in every country. I think how people hear them actually makes it different, I don't know I'm just guessing Wow apchihuu is a very unique sneezing sound and quite cute

Hatching ching Hatching!!!! I really don't know what kind of sounds I deliver during sneezing. I think its Hatchoochay! Anyhow, I will observe myself of what kind of sounds I have when sneezing. I cover my mouth when I feel like doing it. I don't want to spread the virus.

Haha I think it's pretty girly for a sneezing sound That is really unique. I incorporated it immediately to the tune of Funky town. ~[i]Why don't you take me to Funky town~ ~Why don't you take me to Hatchoochay~[/i] Funky town tune

The sneeze sound in the US is usually, in print, "aCHOO!" or "ahh-CHOO!" or something similar. I believe I've seen the Hatchoo! several times in my life.I had a teacher who sounded like a cat. "CHhh! CHhh! CHhhh!" (the english "ch" sound without a vowel, followed by an unvoiced breathing sound after each sneeze, and very quick in succession.

That's cool I think it sounded like that because your teacher tried to prevent herself from sneezing in your class. It sounded cute in the end. How about you how does your sneeze sound? Is it like achoo or ahh-choo? Thank you for that ahh-choo and achoo part, I learned something new about how they write the sound of sneezing in the U.S. all this time I thought it was Hatchoo

well as what i had observed on that sneezing thing, I actually differ from he common hatching ching sound because I myself have sound like this " Hackzeeee" and sometimes "hackshhhhh". well for me, this will really depend upon the person who sneezes whether he is trying to resist the air coming out from his nostrils. that's all folks.

Wow that's good and welcome to mylot! I think I have heard some hackshhhh's too sometime in my life. Yes I think it's right when you say people are trying to resist the air coming out of their noses, I think we are afraid that we would pop our eyes and blow our nose off if there is no resistance at all Just kidding!
