Methane does not smell. To quote wikipedia:
"At room temperature and standard pressure, methane is a colorless, odorless gas. The familiar smell of natural gas as used in homes is achieved by the addition of an odorant, usually blends containing tert-butylthiol, as a safety measure."
- ars 10y agoThe methane itself doesn't smell, but the gas carries along other compounds that would otherwise stay put. So reducing the gas can reduce smell.
