I was told to touch grass, but when I did that it yelled "sexual harassment."

Did some searching. The paper from 2019 that discussed this -

We recorded 65 dBSPL (dB of sound pressure level) ultrasonic sounds 4 inches (10 cm) from tomato and tobacco plants, implying that these sounds could be detected by some organisms from up to several feet (meters) away.

I would like some weed. As a nonscientist, answers come secondary to weed.

Its legal to "not be a scientist" where I live

"I am not a scientist, I just smoke weed" needs to be a shirt.

Did some checking, out of curiosity.

And yeah. Interesting as hell.

That explains why my fuzzy terrorist always wants to bite them.

Is it possible to record those higher frequencies and then turn them down so I can hear how noisy it is for my dog at home?

"I can hear the innermost thoughts of plants" - yup, sounds crazy to me! (Therefore let's do it - make it happen!:-)
