I've been looking into how gas expands and produces sound waves—especially the kind that makes a prank successful. Have you ever thought about the physics behind a good fart noise?
Booger
Sure thing! The trick is all about quick pressure changes. When you let gas out fast, it slams against the air and creates a pressure spike—just like a tiny cannon. That spike vibrates the surrounding air, producing the booming “pffft” we love. Add a little echo or a squeak from a squeaky toy and you’ve got a full‑on prank soundtrack. It’s physics with a punchline, and that’s my favorite kind of science!

Sounds like a classic example of a rapid pressure discontinuity causing a sound pulse. The key is the gas’s volume change and the resulting pressure wave, which then propagates through the medium. The echo you mentioned is just the wave reflecting off a boundary and returning, so it’s all standard acoustic physics. If you’re really interested, measuring the frequency spectrum could give you a clearer picture of how the “pffft” and the squeak interact. It’s a neat, if a bit frivolous, demonstration of wave mechanics.

Yeah, that’s the science behind a perfect “whoopee cushion” symphony. If you hit the right notes, even the echo can turn into a full‑blown soundtrack—just don’t forget the dramatic pause before the final “fart‑cello” solo!
