How do you fart in IB?

Hey guys,

I work in a UMM IB (JEFF / Leerink / Stifel / RJ / Nomura) and currently am seated in a cubical. However I am looking to lateral and I'm afraid that other banks have a more open style seating arrangement.

Currently I'm able to rip one without anyone hearing (due to loud HVAC vents above me) or smelling (due to a cubical layout).

For those of you that have more open desk seating arrangements without dividing walls, how do you break wind without the person beside you smelling? I'm afraid I might be placed beside a cute analyst/associate and she/he will be repulsed by the swamp smell.

Thanks

TLDR, What's your farting situation and how do you do it undetected?
