How to Make a Realistic Farting Noise

Last Updated: February 15, 2023

Yeah, it's silly, but who can't appreciate the humor in a fart noise every once and a while? Impress and entertain your friends by making realistic farting noises on command. You don't need anything more than your body, and a straw if you want another fart noise option.

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:

Using Your Hand and Armpit

1
Make sure your hands are clean. They should be dry as well, with no hand cream or moisturizer.
2
Cup your hand to the opposite arm's armpit. Use your dominant hand. Your fingers should be between your arm and chest, and your thumb should be on the outside, pointing up.^{[1]

- If you want to do this with a shirt on, the easiest way is with a button down shirt. Just undo one of the buttons a few down from the collar, so that your can stick your hand through the opening in the shirt.

3
Make a tight seal. Press your hand firmly into your armpit. There should be as tight of a seal as possible between your hand and your armpit.
4
Bend your arm. Rotate your shoulder downward, the shoulder of the armpit your hand is in. Do this quickly, while maintaining the tight seal by pressing upward with your hand.^{[2]

- You don't have to move your arm much for this to work. It should be a small movement, starting with your upper arm near your side and your forearm across your chest.
5
Practice. You probably won't be able to consistently make a realistic farting noise with this technique at first. With practice you'll find the perfect speed and positioning.

Method 2

Method 2 of 3:

Making a Fart With Your Hands

1
Lay your non-dominant hand flat with your palm facing upwards. Keep your elbow at your side. Your fingers should be pointing at an angle, outwards and towards the opposite hand's direction.
2
Put your dominant hand on your other hand. Take your dominant hand and place the palm on the palm of your non-dominant hand. You want the thumb of your non-dominant hand to line up with second finger joints of your dominant hand. The edge of your dominant hand's palm should stick out a little.
3
Wrap your fingers around your hands. Both your hands' fingers should wrap firmly around your hands.
4
Rotate your hands slightly. Right now, your hands are perpendicular with each other. Rotate your dominant hand upwards slightly.
5
Smash your palms together. Move your palms in and out so that the space between them opens and closes. You'll need to practice this and fine tune the movement and speed to get the best realistic fart noise.^{[3]

Method 3 of 3:

Using a Straw in Your Armpit

1
Find a straw. A bendy straw works the best, but you can try it with a normal straw as well. It just needs to be long enough to reach from your armpit to your mouth.
2
Put the straw in your armpit. Take one end of the straw and close your armpit around it.
- You can do this with a shirt on if you stick it in through the collar.
3
Blow to make fart noises. Put the other end of the straw in your mouth and blow. It should produce realistic sounding fart noises with ease.^{[4]

Question

Can I just blow a raspberry?

Community Answer

Yes, you can.
Question

Can I do this by blowing on my arm?

Community Answer

No. I have tried it in the past, but it gives more of a quirky tight fart noise as opposed to a loud wet "blarp" that comes from these methods. Another one of my favorite methods is putting my soggy wrists together and blowing tightly in between the small protruding crack.
Question

Are there other ways?

Yes, you could try making sounds with your mouth or using objects like straws, plastic container lids, etc.
