![]() The gas released from the inside of your body isn’t as simple as you may have previously thought it was. The sound of your farts depends on so much. This is because, what causes the majority of the loud fart noise is the tight sphincter muscles, and you have removed this from the equation. If, however, you are bent over and your sphincter is relaxed and stretched open the fart may even be silent and make no noise audible by the human ear. If you want to be particularly noisy, this may be your funny little ticket. If you want to be quiet, this is not the way to go. Think of a water hose, and how the water comes out faster and harder when you put your thumb over most of the open end. This is due to the diameter of the anus being squeezed shut and reducing the size of the hole that the gas has to escape from. If you clench your butt cheeks, you may experience a squeaking high-pitched fart. This will directly influence the farting process and the structure of the anal canal all together. All of these variables play their own part in you having a tight sphincter or a loose sphincter. These sounds are surely influenced by the butt cheeks due to the mass or lack-there-of as well as any clenching of the cheeks that may be had. As we briefly mentioned earlier, the tight or loose muscles around the anal canal can play a pivotal roll in the fart noise. The butt cheeks also offer their own role in affecting this whole process. This is not to say that the gas escaping, and the sphincter vibrations are the only factors that play a role in a fart making noise. Taking into consideration the information that an average fart ranges between 5 and 20 cycles per second, we can see where a great deal of the noise actually stems from. This means, that if your capacity is higher, you may be able to fart longer and louder than someone with a lower capacity. The sound is also, clearly, influenced by the sheer volume and velocity of the gas release as well. It is important to note that this is merely an estimation based on observations in experiments and unreliable data.Įach person has a different range of fart sounds that can be produced as the major factors of the resulting sound are shape of the anal canal as well as the tension of the muscles around the anus and sphincter. While it is extraordinarily challenging to offer an exact rate of sphincter vibration during a fart, it can be said that the usual range is somewhere around 5 to 20 Hz. If the bacteria are unable to digest these foods fully, and they instead ferment in this way, they will be expelled with a strong odor.įart noises are the result of your anal sphincter vibrating and releasing the gas from inside of your body. (Poop particles)įatty Acids – These compounds are the major cause of the farts that smell more like soured milk, and they are the result of the fermentation process of undigested food in your G.I. This is a fancy way of saying that they easily bond with other particles and atoms with hydrogen bonds and then are easily released into the air for us to smell. They are cyclic compounds which have a loan pair of electrons on the Nitrogen atoms. It is the chemical structure of skatole and indole that make them smell to our noses. This one has a strong fecal smell as well and is mainly the culprit behind the barnyard smelling farts. Skatole – This organic compound is the product of the amino acid Methionine being broken down. This organic compound does have a specific odor that strongly resembles rotten eggs and is a major reason as to why some farts smell like that. It is the result of the breakdown of an amino acid called Tryptophan. Indole – This is an aromatic organic compound, so the structure is made with the inclusion of a benzene ring. The volatile organic compounds consist of 3 main aspects, and they each play their own role in your farts. They are also a direct result of the same bacteria that eat on the food within your body. These VOCs are the main driving factor behind the odors that you get a waft of after a big fart. This is a fancy way of saying that they dissipate into the air easily in a normal setting. These are chemicals that, at room temperature, have a high vapor pressure. This is attributed to the Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are also released as a result of flatulence. ![]() While these gasses are what largely makes up each fart, they are not the main source of the smell from a fart. While these factors can range widely and vary, not only per person, but per day due to the different diets and physiology but they can also change due to many other environmental factors as well. Sulfur usually is in trace negligible amounts. ![]() The average fart contains a general percentage of gasses as follows:
