How would you spell the way you sneeze?

Come on, let’s have a graphic rendition, phonetically. Nearest approximation will do.
My hay-fever sneezes are pretty controlled: Ckkh! Ckkh! When I have a cold, they’re kind of more crashing.
My husband emits great splashy sneezes: Kzheh-KZHASHK-yeh! Wowee. Makes me want an umbrella.
My grandfather used to go Hitch! Hitch! in the middle of the night.
And I used to work with an old guy who went Ha-SHWEEZ!—the last part sounding like a high-pitched whistle. He did one of those every morning around 9:00. My boss said, “That’s Mr. S’s morning prayer.”
Tags as I wrote them: sneezes, phonetics, sound effects, novelty, grapefruit.

I need to sneeze so I can hear it. Quick! where’s the pepper?
AHHHAAAAAHHHHAAAAHHH CHAAAAH!!!!!!!!!
They can hear me three states over. I finally, in my 30s, realized I can’t do anything about it, so I’m not embarrassed anymore.
@canidmajor, so you wouldn’t be interested in a book entitled How to Change the Way You Sneeze? I’ve always secretly hoped to see that title in the self-help section. I’d have liked to give a copy to Mr. S.
^^ Self-help book titles:
“Change Your Life, Change Your Sneeze”
“How to Win Friends and Sneeze Differently”
“What Color is Your Sneeze?”
“Sixty Days to a Better Sneeze”
“The Power of Positive Sneezing”
I still might, @Jeruba, I freak out the dog every time!
Some words are inherently funny, don’t you think? “Sneeze” is one of them.
And think of all the other “sn-” words that have related meanings.
“Snails: Small Orgasms Gastropods”
A sneeze should be celebrated & in that spirit mine sound exactly as this is written…
WAHHHOOOOOO
a-choo, a-choo, a-choo, a-choo, a-choo. I’m always, without exception, a serial sneezer.
AH CHEW!!!!! AH CHEW!!!!! AH CHEW!!!!! AH CHEW!!!!! AH CHEW!!!!! AH CHEW!!!!! AH CHEW!!!!! AH CHEW!!!!! AH CHEW!!!!! AH CHEW!!!!! AH SHIT!!!!
I usually start mine with “Haa!” Perhaps it would sound like “Haa tzeee! Haa tzee!”. I let my throat run wild while I do that and it ended up becoming much louder.
Pachu, pachu. My wife says my sneezes sound like a sci-fi laser.
Ah ah ah ah cherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
I’m not falling for this again Jeruba, if I answer innocently then a mod comes and steal my words away:

Sneeze is on·omatopoeic. I spell it s n e e z e.
I saw Robin Hood, Men in Tights yesterday. Just sayin’.
When my daughter sneezed she was soo dainty that the “chew!” part was like a rising high musical note.
