Your MacBook Pro's diet might include too much cabbage and beans.
The title of this post is one of my all time favorites.
It's a feature, these kind of details are why we pay more.
Well I’d hate to state the obvious that forcibly shutting down a computer is not good for it. Now the idea of it making a farting noise is leaving me speechles. So many things go through my mind that I probably can’t post in these forms 😂😂... You must record a video of this
Could it be that that CPU is so powerful that forcing the machine to shut down interrupted with the fans suddenly and unusual farting noise came out from the vent? It has happened to my current and previously defective MBP 16". I think you can reproduce this easily.
A clear case of too much gas and bloat.
Why force shut down your computer? I would only do that if it was frozen and I had no other option
Oddly, I see a lot of people doing it in places like coffee shops, I want to shout WTF! I think it is just impatience.
Actually, one girl in the office does it all the time, even going from desk to meetings she will force it to shutdown with the power button. I have explained, just close the lid, go to your meeting, open the lid. All I got was an "ok". But still does it.
is the sound also followed by an odor?
have you looked into the possibility that it might not be the macbook?

The current one behaved abnormally one so I did that. The previous one was defective. It could not wake from sleep so I had to force it to shut down and rebooted.
Well if there was no odor that followed the noise, it was probably a queef rather than a fart.
From an audio-only standpoint, they sound very similar.
Not everyone has the intelligence or reasoning skills to comprehend basic things. I used to be surprised by this but now I just keep moving.
