....But Were Afraid To Ask.

Why do farts make noise?
    The sounds are produced by vibrations of the anal opening. Sounds depend on the velocity of expulsion of the gas and the tightness of the sphincter muscles of the anus. Contrary to a popular misconception, fart noise is not generated by the flapping of the butt cheeks. You can see proof of this in the close-up video footage of Carl Plant's fart on Mate-in-a-State .

Marvelous!  Although I've personally never pharted, I'd often wondered about that kind of stuff.

Thanks for really rectifying things, Dave.
