The sounds produced by plants aren’t used for communication, at least as far as I’ve understood it. They are, as you say, just sounds produced as part of other processes. They aren’t talking any more than a tree talks when in creaks in the wind.

I agree, I just don’t think it’s that relevant to the post, which was more about how our pets experience the world.
