I sneeze very loud. I just can't help it. If I stuff a big bathtowel
on my face then may be I can muffle the sound a bit. All my life I got
teased and ridiculed and lectured about this "bad habit". I'm worried
that my kids will pick up this habit from me. Is it possible not to
sneeze so loud because believe me I tried, I just can't muffle the
sound.

got to go, baby just woke up.

My grandpa would sneeze loud enough to make me jump when I was at the
other end of the house.
Afaic, it's an involuntary response, and I wouldn't worry about it.
