Why is there an inverse relationship between loudness and smelliness of farts?
543292
If you are letting smelly ones you don't want people to know who passed it, so you slip it out quietly and wait to see who gets blamed.\n\nIf you KNOW it isn't a stinker you want to get credit for it so you push it out as loud as you can.\n\nThe inverse relationship becomes apparent when you fit a regression curve to experimental data. This gives us the equation...\n\n   loudness = ( distance_to_others / smelliness )^2

Its simple,\nWhen simple carbs ar processed it produces a lot of air, meaning loud gas\nWhen protiens are digested it doesn't produce a lot of gas but the gas it produces reeks, (ever smelled burning feathers or hair?) We all fart, its just the smell thats different.

Funny...\n\nI think the smell you are describing is directly related to a fart..\n\nSeriously..\n\nWhen you eat different things, does it not make your Farts smell differently. \n\nThink. \nWhat does a beer fart smell like??\nHow about when you eat beans?\nWhat does it smell like when your Golden retriever eats beans??? Whoa...\n\nGarbage in, garbage out. \nIt either leaves out the anus or it leaves through your pee pee...\nIt takes with it what your body does not need.\n\nFor the record, Mine Urine smells wierd when I take an antibiotic.\nThat smell is much different than when I take a strong vitimin. \nDid ya notice it changes color too?\n\nI wonder, if small paricles of your urine are floating around in the air when you pee so that you can smell it, Are germs floating around so you can inhale them too?\n\nCould you get sick by smelling MY urine??\n\nWhy would you want to go around smelling urine?\n\nGADS, I think I will pee sitting down for now on and flush 4 times.

If you want more smelling farts, you have to include in your diet food containing amounts of Hydrogen Sulfide and Sulfur.  The more rich in Sulfur your diet is, more of those gases are going to be produced by the bacteria in the intestine, and  more smelly they will be your farts.\n\nFoods like onion, and eggs, are remarkable to produce stinking farts. On the other hand, for example, beans, produces great amounts of farts, although not necessarily smelly. Sorry aboyt my english... Enjoy your farts!

FART means passing of intestinal gas from the anus\n\n\nIt is generated because to pass intestinal gas from the anus

Because space is vacuum gases, which would be produced by the cheese and are the cause of the bad smell we get here in earth, will dissolve extremely quickly due to lack of air pressure. Thus no or extremely small concentration (a molecule or two) would reach your nose.\n\nIt is the same effect if you compare the small of the same fart in an elevator or in open air... :)

it really depends on what you eat. i had gas inside more than farting when i was pregnant. if you watch what you eat you may have less gas.

Farting is funny, especially if its like a conversation, ya know, you fart, them someone else farts.. its like butts are having a conversation, in their own language, rofl.

Scientists are still trying to decipher exactly what is the mechanism by which we taste and smell.  But this we do know: vapors from the substance in question enter the nose and interact with receptor sites there that are keyed to specific responses in the brain.  The combination of the receptor sites that are activated by the vapor generate a signal that the brain interprets as "smell"/"odor"/"aroma" (take your pick).\n\nThink of the various smells you exerience each day -- pears have an ester known as n-amyl acetate that generates that characteristic smell.  Iso-amyl acetate smells like bananas.  \n\nAnd then there are the fouls smelling compounds -- usually containing sulfur -- such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten eggs), or  methanethiol (or methyl mercaptan) -- which is used to generate the smell in natural gas (which is otherwise odorless), or butanethiol -- skunk spray!\n\nAmines typically have a fishy, musty odor.  Fatty acids tend to have a rancid smell.\n\nEach of the chemicals I have mentioned has a variety of chemical structures, and some similarities: the thiols all have a -SH group in the molecule somewhere, which interacts with receptors in our noses to send a signal to the brain of YUCK!! NASTY!!  Most esters have a pleasant, fruity smell -- there, the characteristic group is R-C(O)O-R'.  Primary amines have the R-NH2 structure, secondary amines replace 2 hydrogens with organic groups, and tertiary amines replace all three hydrogens with organic groups, but they all have that nitrogen in there. \n\nI hope that helps.

The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. Nitrogen-rich compounds such as skatole and indole also add to the stench of farts. The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink. Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts, whereas beans produce large amounts of not particularly stinky farts.

Yeah, i'm pretty sure that a big build-up of earwax makes it a little harder to hear. Long-term though it has serious side effects that can lead to permenantly damaged hearning, it clogs up the works to far down for you to clean out, not good stuff.

The noxious gas comes out and quickly pushed out in bubbles, and at each bubble there's one clap, the larget the fart the more bubbles.  You'll fart louder if you are sitting with your cheeks held tightly together because the claps will be harder.

its not just about proper hygene but proper diet too.  If you eat the right food, ther fluids in your body are neutralized thus producing hormonal balance and lesser odor not just for the vagina but also for the whole body.  and yes.... its suppose to stink..... I should know, I'm married!

Note that it also depends on frequency.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness

Yes Boyles, law does apply to the farts. i will give an example analogous to farts. When gas is inside your body, it feels the pressure exerted by your body which is higher than the atmospheric pressure. When the gas is released the pressure decreases and its volume exapnds causing it to diffus across the room. If you fart with a high pressure then some sound is created. This is similar to If you fill a balloon with air and hold the top in such a way that you let only some air escape at a time then you hear sound. The reason for the sound is that gas is being passed through a small tube with high pressure.

b/c they think the sound is funny\nthat attitude changes when they have to smell it

The Back Seat Fart - This is a fart that occurs only in automobiles. It is identified chiefly by odor. The Back Seat Fart can usually be concealed by traffic noise as it is an eased-out fart and not very loud. But its foul odor will give it away, due to the way air moves around in a car. It is often followed by someone saying, "Who farted in the back seat?" \n\nThe Crowd Fart - The Crowd Fart is distinguished by its very potent odor, strong enough to make quite a few people look around. The trick here is not to identify the fart but the farter. This is almost impossible unless the farter panics, and starts a fit of coughing or starts staring at the ceiling or the sky as though something up there fascinates him. In which case he is the one. Very common. \n\nThe Relief Fart - Sound or odor don't matter on this one. What matters is the tremendous sense of relief that you have finally farted. Some people will even say, "Wow, what a relief." Very common. \n\nThe Skillsaw Fart - A truly awesome fart. It vibrates the farter. Really shakes him up. People back away. It sounds like an electric skillsaw ripping through a piece of half-inch plywood. Very impressive. Not too common. \n\nDO YOU FIND THIS OFFENSIVE??? lol
