While this graph is speed over time, it would be more beneficial to measure particles over time so that you can also approximate the volume of each fart under each curve.

I think he graph is simply titled fart speed? The bottom part may measure audibility

How would they measure the number of particles in the first place tho ?

They already have the speed measurement, they just need to multiply that by the sphincter diameter.
