Why does my speaker sound like a fart?
When I pulled the hair out of the speaker, I tried to turn up the volume and it sounded like a fart.
Is this a good question?

It means the speaker is distorting or the speaker cone is damaged.
Since you pulled hair out of it, a few things may have happened:
Possible Causes
Speaker cone torn or punctured – Even a tiny tear can cause a buzzing/farty sound, especially at higher volume.
Debris still inside – Hair or dust trapped under the speaker grill can vibrate.
Loose speaker membrane – Pulling hair might have slightly pulled or dented the cone.
Overdriving the speaker – If you turned the volume up suddenly, it may be clipping.
Water or moisture – If anything damp touched it, distortion can happen.
What You Can Try
Lower the volume to 50% and test.
Play different audio (music vs. system sounds).
Gently blow compressed air into the grill.
Update/reinstall audio drivers.
Check with headphones — if headphones sound fine, it's definitely the internal speaker.
If distortion happens even at low volume, the speaker is likely physically damaged and may need replacement (usually inexpensive to fix).
