Methane gas smells like flatulence.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that methane gas smells like flatulence?

No. A reference source states methane is odorless, and a children's science book attributes flatulence stink to other chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide rather than methane. One popular book loosely links methane to digestive smells, but the stronger sources indicate methane itself has no smell.
