Plant Sounds

- An interactive sound installation sourced from a plant.
The plant's "state" is represented through sound, primarily frequency. The plant responds to changes in its environment such as humidity, temperature, light, and touch. The micro-voltage fluctuations of the plant are detected by Ag/AgCl electrodes. The voltage is amplified and sent into an Arduino to be digitized. The numeric values are sent to oscillators, resulting in the soundscape.
Btw, I make other COMPLETELY unrelated videos on this channel

*F.A.Q.*
*Can you help me build this?*
Unfortunately, no. I've long since abandoned this project! The best I can offer you is this crude documentation I kept and my best wishes.
residencyproject.blogspot.com/2015/04/
*Did you do other things to the plant (water, cut, light on fire, say nice things, kiss it, etc.)?*
I didn't do extensive tests. HOWEVER, we did notice that during sunset, the frequency would drop rapidly, then during sunrise it would raise rapidly. Also, when watering, the frequency would raise rapidly and peak within an hour or so. As the plant would become dehydrated, the frequency slowly dropped (over the course of several days).
*Does this prove plants feel, think, hear, etc.?*
... Maybe?
Things like feeling are very human notions and plants aren't human. Without concrete evidence to suggest they feel... well, it's not very prudent to apply human qualities to them. Plants react to their environment, this much is sure. But we already knew that.
*Will you try this on other plants?*
Not anytime soon. Maybe down the road I'll revisit the schematics and rebuild the project. If I do that, I would create a how-to so other people can do their own studies.
*Other note*
This is a "sonification" of a plant in a circuit. There are artistic liberties in choosing how to sonify the data. I've chosen Hertz and amplitude. In order to gather the most authentic electrical data from a plant, I think you would need highly sensitive interstitial probes capable of reading extremely small voltages, a Faraday cage, and probably other things that I have no idea because I'm not a scientist.
You have a potential revenue stream with the clicks. You should revisit this.
ok

Brother can i use the sound of this vid on a video essay for film school? I would of course write your name and YT channel in the credits
This needs more experiments. What happens when:
1. you grab a leaf with care
2. Grab with anger
3. Just touch it lightly
4. Tear a leaf
5. Use abusive words vs happy words.
6. When a vegan enters the room.
When bees and butterflies and hummingbirds come by and pollinate...
th-cam.com/video/mucAJW6qEvk/w-d-xo.html found it interesting.
*Vegan enters room*
Plant: aight imma head out
when the pollinators show up, this video gets demonetized.
anton's video was exactly what i was thinking about when i was watching this, but that was about ultrasonic sounds, this is taking electrical impulses and digitally translating them into audio. i wonder what it sounds like if ultrasonic microphones are attached to the plant instead of electrodes?
"Man I love a nice walk through this peaceful neighborhood!"

I wonder if some animals, like dogs, can pick up plant frequencies and that is how they know when a hurricane or tornado is coming...they hear the trees howling in the wind.
Ogr81 OfPoCo doooope I feel like this could be true
They don't make a sound literally. What he made was use the flutuation of the eletricity inside the plant to make a sound.
Well the low frequencies of the tornado itself travel much further than anything a tiny plant can do
The idea is really cool but its more likely they hear the change in the weather
@@calopsitamalucabird9434 They actually do. But it's below the hearing threshold.

technically speaking touching the plant probably just transmits your own frequency through the plants, hence why it gets louder, you start hearing the sound coming from your own body.
what frequency? you body gives off a wide range of frequencies. mainly inferred radiation
@@elk3909 Inferred radiation? Infrared radiation? Infrared radiation is photons and is not what's being measured here. What Orthopox means is low frequency electromagnetic radiation (ULF radio waves) which is all around us. When radiowaves move through a conductor, a tiny voltage is induced which may be picked up by these sensors. Humans, as well as plants, are conductors.
@@stekeln as someone who is a electrical engineer i can tell you a resistance of megaohms is not a conductor.
radio waves are on the same spectrum with microwaves and inferred and uv rays. all the way up to gamma rays
a magnetic field through a strait conductor generates negligible current which is why you use a coil as the number of turns give more voltage whereas thicker area give more current.
@@elk3909 I'd say that the cross section of a human body is quite considerable. I've also seen (experimentally) that one's body in fact works rather well as an antenna. I fully agree with you that that all types of electromagnetic particles do in fact lie in the EM-spectrum. But these higher frequency wavelengths (IR, red, green, UV, etc.) need specialized nano-antennae to be picked up or transmitted electrically. A human body is not.
@@stekeln but the human body still has mega ohms of resistance unless you puncture through the skin and than it drops to a few kilo ohms. and as for the human body acting as an antenna your body has capacitive coupling to ground and it tends to filter out noise making the signal clearer

Peace Please then vegans becomes diabegans.
No where near vegan, but technically speaking touching the plant probably just transmits your own frequency through the plants, hence why it gets louder, you start hearing the sound coming from your own body plus everything else its connected to. same thing probably happens what you cut it, any lingering vibration from contact could be amplified.
@@poxy1000 No. Not actually true. Plants like any other living thing needs to sense its surroundings and so plants use electric voltage to sense the environment. Its revealed that plants can hear, smell, and see to a degree. This is why they tend to grow were the sun shines or know were to grow into. They literally feel. Our neurons also produce voltage if provoked or if disturbed. So in a sense they can feel.

Plant says it would rather be outside.
Cartoon Head where the bugs can munch on it?
I think most of us rather to be outside.
Lol mine doesn't
WHICH SOFTWARE HAVE BEEN USED
It is a houseplant it would die outside due to solar overexposure
2020: What I got from this is:-
1. Don't molest any plants.
2. Don't hurt any plants.
3. Be thankful that they exist for our consumption & for the oxygen we breathe.
4. All living things have souls. They're living things. Brain or not, complex or not, they're living things.
5. They can interact with their surroundings just fine, but they follow their own natural way & order. You mind your own business.
I feel you!!!
But what if my plants want me to touch them? They've been touching me weirdly these past days...
IllisMoreo 87 uP
Soul is just a fictional concept
@@Sunny-vb2dd, attach this sound device to a plant then cut it, see how loud it screams. Who cares if it feels what your experience of pain is, if it has that profound of an impact on it to produce such a sound. Who's business is it to keep inflicting the same experience onto it? Whether you cut an animal or a plant it is cruel, but it is necessary to keep our life going or else it would be cruel to us then. But never think it is not cruel, or else you would just be running circles on yourself. This is just the nature of life, respect it, and keep going.
Love him or hate him
He's spittin straight facts right here!
When plant is unhappy with the wire stuck on it
Plant:- *wwwnnnnnnnnnnnmnmnnnn*
This plant has been recorded inside of a superficial and enclosed area (indoor?) and making these sounds results ... I wonder how the sounds results would be if the plant was record outdoor in a middle of a forest for example ?... it would be interesting to discover another variations of sounds that the plant would emit. Thanks for this video!
You're right, there is definitely a correspondence between the sound and the setting of the plant. While we have never tried outdoors, we did have the exhibit in a windowed, sunny room. When the sun began to set, there was a marked difference in the information we received from the plant. The frequency dropped rapidly as it became darker. So, I imagine the effects would be much more intense if in an outdoor setting. Thanks for the interest!
@@tomutomu
Can you somehow translate the mood of the plant by trying to figure out what sounds it makes when it's in a good mood or bad mood? Do plants have emotions?

my plants only say “feed me seymour”
Nice
Today while the house was quiet and I was sitting a feet away from my Peace Lilly I heard it "aspirate" as it moved. Wow.
She is extremely sensitive to light and water. She was wilted the day before and needed watering, which I did in the evening. Late this morning she made the sound and a stem sort of moved as if wind blew on the one leaf. It was amazing to witness.
Wow that one second screaming part gave me chills . To all the ppl who are on plants based diet. kindly watch what you are eating ! Plants do have feelings guys
That's it. No more plants in my room anymore. I've got a lot of plants in my room and while listening to this sounds i looked around- All of my plants angrily staring at me (maybe because I forget to water them regulary...)
😂 leave about all this just be happy with your plants.
Then you can do your own experiment. Listen very intently and pay attention to your plants, naturally it's very subtle to pick up on but perhaps you can hear them and maybe even what they're feeling. The same way a mother knows what her baby wants by it's cry. Let loose of all other things, and prioritize that one moment to just *listen*, just pure devotion, nothing else. It takes a certain amount of awareness to do this. If a cow or worm can do it, so should you - or else we have evolved through so much time life has put into us to be called the "ultimate lifeforms" on this planet all for naught.
Well time to suffocate in your room

1:39 *Don't touch me!* *SCREEEEEEEECH*
How do you know that the difference in the sound is caused by the plant and not you, when you touch the plant? and so alter the signal sent to the sensors.
It is most likely a mixture of a response from the plant and interference from another source. Hard to say how much is of which!
hi Tom! this is great.
question: im a cologne based film student writing my thesis about a potential plants perspective. tomorrow im going to make a movie about it and im looking for some noises plants make, which i can use in it. if you are interested in a little collaboration, im here waiting for your answer. Daniel

Imagine how Australia must have sounded in February this year
Curious how the measurements are being taken. Is that a piezo attached to the leaf generating its own electricity based off the vibrations of the plant, or is an actual charge being measured through the plant itself?
1:39 why was this part so terrifying to me
It is scary. Its like a sound you would hear in a nightmare
The sounds of a plant is just as eerie as the sounds of planets. It even _”screams”_ when being touched!
This is why I’m an indoor person…not because of bugs, but to try not to get yelled at by plants for stepping on them in the park.
This speech is very emotional. Especially when it said "vruuuuuvruuu".
That is crazy! I love it! Plant's make music😊
Me: walking in a dark forest
Trees: WAZAAAPPPPPP

1:40 me when my crush touches my hand:
The sound that this plant makes when being touched sounds like a voice of some sort telling the toucher to let go of its leaf.
Plants seem so much more alive to me now
So all we have to do is understand the plant language and then talk to the oldest tree on the planet and ask him what’s been going on for the past thousand years
Yup. Create a language. Just press diff keys, then tree replies, we already know the code, sooo... yeah it's possible.
Tree: oh, ya know. Earth stuff. Hey, can you chase that squirrel off my branch? Hes tickling me.

I turned around to the only plant in the room; a Peace Lilly as well. I now see it in a whole new light. Thanks for sharing!
anyone else still hear that sound for a few minutes after the video?
Dude, this is incredible. I study music production and am doing a project on acoustic ecology. I'd LOVE to explore this myself, can you point me in the right direction of making one of these circuits or any means to recreate this.
The internet was my best resource for things, but also electrical engineering brains are must. I'll redirect you to a small artist blog I kept on the project. It doesn't go into depth on exact specifications of the circuit, but it does have the broad ideas.
Glad you enjoyed!

+Gontrand00 Thanks for watching -- it's an exciting glimpse into the activity of plants.
Love it or hate it This plant straight up Spillin facts
It's just electricity. The plant absorbs and emits electricity. When you touch it it's touching the other end of the aux cord. It absorbs your electricity and dissipates it. The plants are not actually talking.
I have to say, the plant is used as grounding for single wire signal transmission. lots things (both insulators and conductors, better crystalline than non crystalline structured) are good single wire signal/energy transmitter including vacuum in the universe/space. When human touch it, the grounding effect accumulate, which may increase the signal and make the gadget sounding more aloud.
I was wondering have you eliminated the grounding effect possibility to present plant's own signal effect significantly?
Bump

@Robert Pearce why?
*GIVE ME THE PLANT*
wall e ?
This is the first moment in my life that i was informed that plants do have sounds. Wow. Amazing.
"Grab the plant"
*Happy plant noises*
Yo, this leaf is just acoustically vibrating due to contact with things around it. It's such a small sound we cant hear it but our sensors can. Imagine a guitar string, when he puts his hand on the leaf it makes a different frequency noise due to different wavelengths of vibrations from the tension. It changes from humidity due to density of the air around it. It changes from temp. for the same reason, and I'm sure light affects the way particles react on that small of a scale to be able affect the noise as well.
Sorry mate, I think you've confused this with contact microphones. Ag/AgCl electrodes are used for ~electrical~ measurement. An acoustically vibrating leaf (whatever the hell that is) would have almost no impact on the information being received from the electrode.
@@tomutomu then to perfectly demonstrate this project, wouldn't all other possible interferences have to be eliminated such as the plant being grounded? Perhaps hook up the signal to an oscilloscope to see if there are any recognizable patterns?
Shouldn't there be a pause at the very least? Are they always talking? Would be neat to be able to decipher the vibrations of plants and see what they actually say.
eternallegacy89 yea they never stop
eternallegacy89 It would be pretty cool to decipher what they say.
