New research suggests that plants that are thirsty or stressed emit sounds imperceptible to the human ear.

'New York Post' reports that scientists in Tel Aviv used special microphones to make recordings of ultrasonic sounds produced by tomato and tobacco plants.

The experiment was conducted inside a sound-proof box and a greenhouse.

We know that vibrometers attached to plants record vibrations.

But do these vibrations also become airborne soundwaves — namely sounds that can be recorded from a distance?

Our study addressed this question, which researchers have been debating for many years, Lilach Hadany, study co-author, via 'New York Post'.

The study also included corn, wheat, cactus and henbit.

Our intention was to test whether the plants emit sounds, and whether these sounds are affected in any way by the plant’s condition.

Our recordings indicated that the plants in our experiment emitted sounds at frequencies of 40-80 kilohertz, Lilach Hadany, study co-author, via 'New York Post'.

'New York Post' reports that the maximum detectable frequency to the human ear is approximately 16 kilohertz.

According to the team's work, unstressed plants usually emit less than one sound per hour, while distressed plants can produce dozens of sounds in the same amount of time.
