To be able to blow or draw hole 2 correctly you need to control the air pressure. One way to do this is: When blowing or drawing hole no. 2 (let’s say blow), allow the air to be blown equally from your mouth AND nose. This means that you should allow the air to pass partially from your mouth and your nose (1:1). This will ease the pressure on the reed, allowing it to sound correctly. All beginners invariably blow (draw) hard into the harmonica, making the reed sound chocked or distorted. This method works perfectly.
