methane doesn't have an odor, you linked to the data sheet of trichlorofluoromethane, a completely different molecule

The gas in your house is artificially made stinky so that people would notice leaks and blow their house up, which happened a lot back when the stinky chemicals weren't added and it was odorless

That's what I get for moving quick, thank you. I guess the overall point that methane will not make the atmosphere smell still holds
