# Naturalistic Frequency Speakers The 'GreenNote' Speaker Turns Plant Energy into Music By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-12-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greennote-speaker References: [thegadgetflow](https://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/plant-energy-music-device/) & [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/greennote-listen-to-the-music-of-the-plants-nature-technology) The 'GreenNote' speaker comes as a naturalistic piece of equipment for the home that will turn the electrical impulses of plants into music for you to enjoy Featuring two [bio-sensing electrodes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-pulses), the unit connects to the leaf and soil of a plant to start sensing for the connective frequencies of the greenery. The unit then uses an Arduino Board to convert the impulses into music that is played out the speakers for a truly [unique audio experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-sculpture-speaker) that is unlike anything you've heard before. The 'GreenNote' speaker will also pick up variations to the frequency that are created when you touch the plant or water it. The unit acknowledges a growing disconnect between many consumers and the [natural world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-green-album-by-califia-farms), which is seeing new products that bolster a biophilic connection be developed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Plant Energy Speakers:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in converting other natural sources into music. - **Biophilic Connection Products:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing more products that connect consumers to the natural world. - **Naturalistic Audio Experiences:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating more non-traditional audio experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in incorporating natural sources of energy into consumer electronics. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating more naturalistic home decor products. - **Smart Gardening:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in integrating technology with gardening and plant care. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Multifunctional Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-echo.md) - [Compact Bio-Synth Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-scion.md) - [Mushroom-Core Audio Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycoaudio.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-product.md) - [Bird-Inspired Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdinspired-speaker.md) - [Flower Bud-Inspired Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orris-speaker-concept.md) - [Nature-Inspired Calming Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whistle-speaker.md) - [Tree-Inspired Speaker Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-pick-stand-speaker.md) - [Renewable Material Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-marley-get-together.md)
