"Everyone knows you should soak your beans before cooking them, and while how long you should soak them varies depending on what you want to do, America's Test Kitchen suggests that if you really want a creamy, smooth texture without mushy, gluey beans, you should brine themthat is, soak them in salt waterinstead of letting them soak in the fridge in plain tap water " - this article claims.
Not tried it yet myself , but have done changing the water mid-soak and also discarding the water after soaking and boiling in fresh water to try and reduce the gas effect , but could not honestly say that I noticed a difference
.But the article makes no claim in reducing gas, but does claim to make "a creamy, smooth texture without mushy, gluey beans".

I don't often soak beans, I just cook them straight for things like Dal and chili, but when i do, I soak them in bay leaves to get the flavor, but no salt.
