I certainly hope you're not hearing actual fart noises :) Usually only certain parts of a computer make noise... hard drives actually spin when accessing data and if you have an old drive, the heads can become noisy. That's the closest sound to a fart I can think of coming from any computer.
The other noises are from fans, CDs spinning, and just the sound of current going through the system. If your computer is making far more noise than when you bought it, you may want to make regular backups and expect a system failure to be around the corner. When components get old there can be noisy warning signs before it goes kaput.
Most modern computers are fairly quiet, depending on the manufacturer and the quality of the internal components.

I would double check that your power cord is inserted into the back of your PC correctly. I've seen it before where they come loose and make popping, fizzing and sometimes farting sounds.
Otherwise, like others have suggested it could be the bearings in one of your cooling fans. If you have a laptop, then you are bit buggered unless you are good at taking fiddly things apart. If it is a PC, remove the case lid and listen carefully to see which fan is making the noise. If it is one of the fans, my advice would be to run it in to those sheisters at PC World to see if they have a replacement. You may be surprised - the useless idiots in there sometimes can be helpful!

If the noise comes from the case it probably wants a clean. The fans get clogged up with dust and the pc starts to overheat. Unplug it and hoover it out without touching anything. You can also get cans of compressed air; use very short bursts.
It may also be on its way out so back up your data now!
But if you are getting actual sound effects from your speakers it could be a virus.
Running anti malware programs in Safe Mode gives them a better chance of picking up any problems.
Theres a list of software on my blog.

it relatively is have been given gas. i'd propose lifting it up and patting it on the back for a jiffy. Then it relatively is going to be high quality. In all seriousness nonetheless, it relatively is the fan. it relatively is in all threat jammed or something.

This is usually a sign of internal problems, depending on the noises.
You have not given enough information to make a diagnosis.
Maybe gas.

Someone put "prank \ gag" software on your computer. Check add\remove programs for something suspicious and remove it.

it sounds to me like its rather bloated and needs to let out the awful toxins out. Or it may have irritable bowel syndrome. I,d trade it in for a newer model.
