Comment on Is it normal to be able to shut your nose from within?

Strange. Ok, can you make a snorting sound at the front of your nose? If you can, try to make a knocking sound with your nose. For that, build up pressure inside your nose using your tongue and release the sound by opening your nose.
It’s similar to what you do when you have to sneeze and try to suppress it.

Nope. With effort I can restrict it a little but not close it off.
Suppressed sneezes are from my throat.
