Why do some people make vocal noises when they sneeze?

Asked by lefteh (9429points) February 19th, 2009

I hate it when people make seemingly unnecessary vocalizations when they sneeze (the “aaaaaaaaah-choo”). When I sneeze, the only noise is from the sneezing itself. In other words, my vocal chords aren’t involved in the process at all. Is there a reason that some people make vocalizations? Can they help it? Do you find it annoying?
