Scientists are discovering that many habitats have a sound. And that sound can tell if the habitat is healthy or failing.
Turns out that creatures respond to sound. Including creatures that are not expected to have ears - like plants and microbes.

All those 'new age' druids that claim that every living thing is energy and vibrations, may have turned out to be closer to the truth than the rest of us could imagine...

This has fantastic implications for sound research. Both in terms of recording environments (including lower and higher frequencies than we can hear) and including recording in particular environments and scales (for example inside the soil); but also in terms of laboratory research in terms of the response of living beings to sound exposure.

Planet Earth has been singing all along. Only now we are beginning to listen.

I want to believe.
