What makes the noise when someone passes gas?  Is it your buns flapping open and closed making the noise?

It's a large amount of air pushing through a small space. It's not the "buns" flapping. It happens at the point of exit. \n\nThere really isnt any more delicate way to put it.\n\nI cant believe I just answered this question. I need a life!

your stomach acid constantly moves and is breaking down things you have eaten. but if you dont have anything to break down then the acid is splashing around making noise since nothing is blocking the movement.  it also has to do with the gasses. they also help break down things and when stuff is in the way they dont break the surface. but if your stomach is empty it breaks the surface of your stomach acid

The stomach is very elastic-y and can contract as small as a sausage when you're hungry and there's nothing in it.  But once you eat and you fill up with food, it can expand like a balloon.\n\nI think what that statement means is that when you're hungry and there's nothing in your stomach, your stomach makes the growling noise cuz it's like messing with the air in your stomach by contracting.  But it's not a health problem, it'll just expand once again when you eat =)

"When we eat, we also swallow air. Also, when the food gets digested in the intestines, gas is produced. These gases when passed out through the intestine form the @nus into the air are called farts. The gases that make farts smell bad contain ammonia and hydrogen sulfide which are made in the intestine. And eating oily spicy food and drinking lots of soda makes you fart even more."

Certainly yes! The sound of burping is caused by the vibration of the esophageal sphincter as the gas passes through it so whatever is the cause of the muteness it is far related to the esophagus. It is just like asking if a mute breathed would they make a sound?☺

Maybe it means she has a little gas....?

Sounds like you may have eaten some gas-causing foods.

I have had all sorts of gas passed upon me during "you know."\n\nWhile mowing the lawn, I have passed some of the best gas of my life.  It's the perfect opportunity!  A noisy lawn mower drowns out the sound, the smell of freshly cut grass masks the smell....  You can give up weeks worth of pent up farts with one mow of the front yard.  Just be careful you don't soil yourself straining.

vibration of the spincter muscle there, which allows, well, stuff to pass out at will and not uncontrollably! a fart is a pretty powerful thing!

Yes I do it too! Only mine sounds like a loud gurgle type sound in my throat. I hardly every burb but make this sound instead and it's quite embarrassing when it happens around other people and they're like "um what was that?" I just had a son 8 mths ago and after he finishes his bottle he'll do it too sometimes. I was so excited that he got this from me! I am not alone anymore!\n\nYou have to admit, it is pretty cool!!! If I drink pop I can do it over and over just by kind of swallowing a bit and trying to burp. You can feel a little "bubble" in your throat that slowly comes up to make the noise, so weird!

Unless you have been a victim of the Dutch oven (leaving the fart to rest under the sheets) then will never know the true meaning of silent but deadly.  Noise is no contender (unless it is from a girl--sounds sexist but every guy will agree) to the depth charged sheets.

as long as you don't make any noise. We all do that once in a while but knowing we all do that and actually being there and acknowledge someone did that in public are 2 completey difference experiences. I'm someone standing next to you farts, AND makes noise, how would you react? I know whoever did that didn't mean it and that person must be very embarrassing but I also think it's only natural that people would look at the one who did it with "unfriendly" eyes

Your stomach actually rumbles all the time, not just when you’re hungry. The official term for it is borborygmi. The Greeks originally dreamt up this term in an attempt to represent the sound of the noise itself.\n\nWhat causes borborygmi?\nLiquids in the stomach absorb gas that we swallow in the air, when we eat. As the stomach contracts, to move food around the digestive system it pushes this gas through the liquids. The loud distinctive rumble, which normally crops up when we’re hungry, happens because there is no food in the gut to dampen down the sound.\n\nWhy does my stomach contract even when there’s no food to move around?\nBecause your body has a reflexive response to the desire for food, and starts preparing the stomach for the hoped for food by pushing anything in the intestines towards the rectum.\n\nSome people actually experience borborygmus after meals, since digestion has the same reflex.

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.

There is a slight amount of gas in the joints that builds over a short period of time.  The "pop" is what you hear when the gas is released from the joints.

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.
