Does music have an effect on plant growth?

Answer 1

the sound waves coming from the music you play everyday affects plant life. the sound waves can either be negative, or postive, depending on what type of music is played. classic will have a positive reaction and rock or rap will have a negative reaction and damage your plant. -mca2, ph.FoolD, BS.chite Preposterous. Sound waves are ALL negative and positive .. >THEY ARE WAVES, SILLY BEAN.. .high low high low and so on and so on ad nauseam. Now, certainly frequency and intensity can vary. Which MAY, but unlikely in this case, affect molecular transport, reaction rates, etc. But Concert A is 440 Hz in blues, Beethoven, rap or riotboyz. Please reveal the magical method that soulless plants detect and differentiate between the human designed content value of said sound waves, and I will be your best buddy forever. Quit wasting 2nd graders time please. -ifitsoundsstupid, likelyitis.

Answer 2

I had heard years ago about studies purporting that plants responded better to Classical Music than they did to Rock Music. The reality is, however, that no noticeable effect has been recorded in growth rates or characteristics of plants subjected to the same decibel levels of noise, whether the sound was white noise (first control group), classical, pop, jazz, blues, gospel, rock, played at normal hearing levels--silence (the second control group).

Answer 3

This is what you do:

You take 12 small sized plants of the same species that are essentially identical every visible way and designate 6 as 'control' and 6 as you 'treatment group'.

Both control and treatment plants should receive the same amount of light and be fed the exact same amount of water at the same time each day.

The treatment group will be played music between 9am and 9pm and also be exposed to normal household noises. The control group will be exposed to normal household noises only.

You should measure each plant once a week for several weeks. Measurements should include: leaf size and weight, height of plant, weight of plant. Weighing should be done before watering to prevent variability in watering amounts from artificially affecting the weight.

Once you have collected all your data, calculate the means and standard deviations for each group at each timepoint. If these appear different, then run a repeated measures two-way ANOVA with treatment and time as the two factors - just to be sure that the differences are real.

Then publish your findings :)

Answer 4

There is limited scientific evidence to support the claim that music affects plant growth. While some studies have shown potential positive effects on growth, more research is needed to confirm these findings. Factors such as type of music, volume, and plant species may also play a role in any observed effects.

Answer 5

No valid scientific evidence exists to show that music affects a plants growth.

No repeatable and controlled experiments have been carried out by any competent and qualified person.
