Did some searching. The paper from 2019 that discussed this -

We recorded 65 dBSPL (dB of sound pressure level) ultrasonic sounds 4 inches (10 cm) from tomato and tobacco plants, implying that these sounds could be detected by some organisms from up to several feet (meters) away.

I would like some weed. As a nonscientist, answers come secondary to weed.
