Plants have long been thought to be mute, but according to a new study, they do cry out when they’re injured or lacking water, just at a frequency too high for us to hear.

Researchers have recorded and analysed the sounds made by plants when they are in distress. Interestingly, these sounds are not too different from the sound of popping popcorn.

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.
