If you fart in the woods and nobody else is around to hear it, did it make a noise?

I think you're missing the point of the question, which is how we can know something for sure without having sensed it. (which sort of evolved later into the question of how we can know something for sure, even if we do sense it).\nanyways, vis a vis the way you posited the question, it depends on what you mean by "sound". If you consider a soundwave a sound then yes, it makes a sound; if you consider sound only that which we hear, then no, it didn't make a sound. \n\nin other words, it appears your question is really: "If a tree falls in a forest and noone hears the sound it made, did it make a sound?" vs. "If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, did anyone hear it?"

hahaha rofl well i think the fart/scent particles move with it.  Like a stink trail on a skunk's a** in these cartoons.  So it will smell where you are coming from and where you are going

It's not mine so it might not count...\nAt my brother's confirmation he farted really loud in church and everyone around us started laughing.  It was the polite sort of laughter though, in your hand so it's quiet, you know.  Anyway, my sister was laughing so hard that she did it too and everyone lost it.  They started laughing hysterically in the middle of the mass.

When I went to my family reunion a few years ago is when I had my most embarrassing moment. I was laughing hysterically with other relatives from a joke that was said. My younger cousin whom I hated at the time placed a microphone under my chair. It is known that when I laugh, I fart...but it is rare that happens. Well, in this occasion I farted, and when I passed gas it was heard on the microphone for everyone to hear. I was soooo mortified because EVERYONE was laughing at me. I only walked away with tears in my eyes and I never went back to a family reunion since then.

Put it on yourself! If you fall and there is no one see's you, does make a sound? Then how do we know?

Of course it would. There would just be no one around to HEAR it. That doesn't mean it wouldn't make NOISE! Gah, I hate when people ask this question! (No offense!)

A fart is the cry of an imprisoned turd.  I'm not sure if the actual fart knows where it came from, but the turd apparently does, if it's screaming to get out.

lmao, mr chili that's so funny.  The odor from flatulation (fart) is actually microscopic particles of feces along with body heat and gases. That is where the smell comes from. \n Once those particles are no longer airborne and fall to the ground the smell can no longer be detected, it's at your feet not up at nose level.\n\nDid you really poot in a box and seal it up? Ahhhh-haaa. LOL!!

this question is actually answered in my biology book..here is what it says:\n\n"perceptions, such as colors, smells, sounds and tastes, are constructions of the brain and do not exist outside it. so, if a tree falls and no one is present to hear it, is there a sound? the fall certainly produces pressure waves in the air, but if sound is defined as a perception, then there is none unless sensory receptors detect the waves and an animals brain perceives them"

Of course it does. Just because there is no one around doesn't mean that it doesn't make a sound.

No but a friend of mine did when we were kids. It was not only a fart, she followed through(if you get my meaning)\nI did not know if to laugh or cry!!!!!!!
