the sound machine

[pianonut]

by Roald Dahl (yes, again)

"I like sound..."  the story starts out.  The protagonist, Klausner is a mad scientist and wants to build a machine that would transform inaudible high frequencies so people could hear them.  He does.  It looks like a coffin.  It is a large black box. He takes it outside and first only hears humming noises coming from the transformer.  But, as soon as a neighbor cuts her roses, he hears shrieks (each time a rose stem is cut). 

how's that for extrasensory.

I thought it was because plants (chlorophyllic ones) like carbon dioxide.
