Hasn't this study been done before? Feel like I've heard of grass "distress signals" from years back

Yes, remember that one as well, but this is a literal sound, not only a "plants communicate stress in some way" (if I remember the previous research correctly).

Remember that Mythbusters (Episode 61 Deadly Straw) that re-created Cleve Backster's primary perception experiments to show plants can sense malicious intent and totally re-created his results? I had to re-watch it to make sure I was remembering correctly. They totally just alter the experiment until they break it, then sweep it under the rug and call it busted. Totally.
