There really is not much good information about the effect of music on plants because all attempts to do controlled studies on plants and music result in "no difference". Any "differences" between a music treatment and a no-music control (or other-music treatment) in pseudoscience studies can almost always be attributed to some difference in other variables in the project which have not been suitably controlled (light, water, fertilizer, soil type, humidity, etc.)

soft, gentle music actually does help plants to go faster, more lush. in the case of fruits and vegetables, the production increases and the fruits/veggies grow larger too. i did a study of this back in the 70's with various types of music, and talking, and no music, and no talking. of course, used the same soil, amount of watering, etc. yet both the gentle music and the talking affected growth quite dramatically, when done both separately and together. btw, loud acid rock had a visibly detrimental effect on the plants.

I don't think music has any influence on plant growth, but I think the sound frequency of water is beneficial. I used to play a 'sounds of the rain forest' CD, which has an hour of rainfall sounds, and several of my plants bloomed over a week period. Not sure if there's a connection or not, but it was cool.

It is said that talking to your plants gives them life , so you would think that music would do the same. Although plants give life to us without talking so why would it be different if turned around?

I think it does, scientic evidence or not..lol. I have tested this personally on some ivy i had growing in my office.......the ivy that had soft mjusic playing daily grew twice as big, twice as fast as the ivy without music...
so, i think yes

"Nothing, they don't have ears."
And you probably also think that they can't sense light because they don't have eyes?
