Only some words are spelled the way they sound; they're called onomatopoeias.
Things like buzz, pop, hiss, etc.

Yeah! It should be spelled like this: PBBT! PBBT!
If you can pronounce that, it will sound like a fart!

You are over generalizing. What about the word "explosion." Using your logic, it would be called "bam."
