Indeed. In the upper mid-range, it's like a shotgun blast under a tin roof. Eleanors38 May 2015 #5
To hide the equally loud fart they let. Eleanors38 May 2015 #4

Granted I think she plays it up more than is necessary (and for some reason doesn't seem to think covering her nose is a good idea), but you can hear her from the other side of the office floor.

I have very physical sneezes, sometimes to the point that I feel my back crack when I sneeze, but I do everything I can to muffle the sound by using the crook of my arm or a kleenex to stifle the sound.
