What if it’s not just a noise? What do you do then?

Ignore. Good manners is about ensuring people feel comfortable rather than a list of rules.

Walking through Derby City Centre thirty years ago, with a dear male friend who audibly broke wind
‘^Damn pigeons^‘ he said

To this day, that’s what I always say if it happens to me or anyone else.

‘Damn pigeons’ smile

If you happen to audibly fart when with company, do you excuse yourself or just act as if nothing has happened? I really don’t know which is best. I more often ignore it if it’s me, and definitely ignore it if it’s someone else but what is deemed the correct etiquette? Even the Queen must do it sometimes.
