Yes numerous studies have shown that plants respond to outside stimuli. light a fire close to a plant but not close enough to actually burn it and it will eventually begin to lean away from the heat. Studies show plants respond to both positive and negative speech and sound. Plants exposed to gentle voices or happy voices, or happy upbeat music grow faster than those who are exposed to yelling, harsh music etc (yes scientist actually stood around and yelled at plants for days on end to find this out hehe). Plants also move to track the position of the sun to increase the amount of energy they get, they will lean first one way in the morning then straight up and noon and another way in the late afternoon.
