They found distressed plants make about 35 sounds an hour, while well-hydrated/uncut plants make only one… And while we can’t hear them, the research says some animals probably can. If you’re wondering what the plants sound like, researcher Lilach Hadany says it’s “a bit like popcorn – very short clicks,” she said. No appropriate Adele-style power ballads, then…
