Stressed tomato and tobacco plants emit ultrasonic sounds similar to bubble-wrap popping, which may be detectable by insects, mammals, and other plants. Researchers recorded the sounds and used machine-learning to identify stress types and plant species, offering insights into plant communication an

Plants generate distinct airborne sounds when they are under stress, according to a new study by Isreali researchers. The sounds, which are similar to the popping of popcorn, are emitted at a volume equivalent to human speech but at high frequencies beyond the hearing range of humans.

Researchers in Israel have found that tomato and tobacco plants that are dealing with stress factors make a popping sound that can be detected over

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have recorded and analyzed ultrasonic sounds emitted by plants for the first time. The study found that plants emit specific sounds when under stress, which may be detectable by animals like bats, mice, and insects. Using machine learning algorithms, the researcher

Plants make a popping sound – a bit like bubble wrap – when they are stressed.

Plants emit species- and stress-specific airborne sounds that can be detected in acoustic chambers and greenhouses.

Tel-Aviv, Israel (SPX) Mar 31, 2023 - Global breakthrough: for the first time in the world, researchers at Tel Aviv University recorded and analyzed sounds distinctly emitted by plants. The click-like sounds, similar to the popping of p

For the first time in the world, Tel Aviv University researchers recorded and analysed different noises made by plants. The click-like noises, which sound like popcorn popping, are produced at...

For the first time in the world, researchers at Tel Aviv University recorded and analyzed sounds distinctly emitted by plants. The click-like sounds, similar to the popping of popcorn, are emitted at a volume similar to human speech, but at high frequencies, beyond the hearing range of the human ear.
