Do plants really grow better when exposed to certain types of music?

[Braznor]

Can anyone care to explain here?

I'm about 90% sure this was my fourth grade science fair project, ahahaha

I seriously doubt it.

It's like saying a child will become smarter if his front lawn has a different type of grass than his neighbors.

It just doesn't make any sense

MythBusters did it, and confirmed it. Take it for what you will. EDIT: Plausable not confirmed was the verdict. Death metal made them grow best, ironic?

i liked that episode of mythbusters

Yup, 3rd grade science project, here.

rap, hiphop, and all related forms are NOT music... and also kill plants.

Did Mythbusters actually explain any potential science behind this phenomenon? I just cannot understand how music would effect plant growth...

Interesting side note, death metal also turned the plants carnivorous.

I play bob Marley 24/7 and don't notice any increase in yield. I will try death metal out and report back in 75 days.

All I listen to is death metal. So this would explain the rapid growth of trees and plants in the vicinity.

the difference here is that death metal will increase yield, but Bob Marley will increase % of necessary components...
