# How Do Sound Waves Affect the Growth of Bean Plants?
-
Stimulation
-
Subtle vibrations of energy (sound waves) make a bean plant germinate faster. Sound waves are energy that travel from one object to another. This gentle energy causes subtle vibration that stimulates a bean plant to germinate faster. A plant that germinates at an accelerated rate grows faster, and in some cases, taller.
Music
-
No one has determined if plants prefer Mozart over Beethoven, simply that music stimulates their growth. Sound waves from music are gentle, therefore a positive sound for bean plants. As the plant germinates faster, roots become stronger and grow further into the ground. A bean plant with stronger roots has better chances of gathering water and essential nutrients.
Effectiveness
-
Instrumental music offers postive sound waves for bean plant growth. Sound waves from speaking to a bean plant are not as rhythmic or consistent as music. It's not determined yet whether bean plants have a preference as to where sound waves come from, but most studies show that instrumental music has a positive effect on growth because it's gentle and continuous.
