As a child in the 1980s, I visited the Jorvik Viking Centre in York, England, to learn about the Scandinavian seafarers. The museum stank — and the stench was deliberate.

Recordings of a number of different plant species revealed that they emit a popping or clicking sound that is not detectable by the human ear. It sounds a bit like the pop of popcorn or bubble wrap, and the plants make more sounds when they are dry or their stems have been cut.
