sensitive to sound or light?




I'm interested in the hard devision of nature and 'man made nature'. Is out separation from nature or the distinct devision between the natural world and our urban world building up to a point where it cannot be bigger? Is this tension field going to collapse some day? In other words, is the natural world one day going to merge with our synthetic world?
This broad and big question led me to some smaller questions. In this case the adaptation of nature to resources we expose them to. More specific; do plants change their resource preferences when we take away theirs. For example, if our sky gets so filled with particles of carbon, dust, or other yet to be invented waste, that its not penetrable by light anymore, do plant switch to other available sources we provide them with, such as sounds. This is not meant as an experiment wether plants respond to sound but it is raising the question stated before. 
To pull the question into the future I will use a sensitive plant. This sensitive plants response to touch but I make it respond to sound. As if to say the plant already adapted.
