Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Noise
Does it bother plants when you play loud music? Or does it sooth them with quiet music?
Answer
According the Mythbusters it's "Plausible" but as for actual plant physiology being affected by music, I doubt it. However, the vibration from the sound waves could have some affect.
