		<description>Yes, I think that could happen. In &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.plants-in-buildings.com/acoustic.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Plants and Their Acoustic Benefits&lt;/a&gt;,&quot; Kenneth Freeman writes that &quot;Plants with lots of small leaves are useful as they scatter and diffuse sound.  At higher frequencies the leaves may reflect sound towards other surfaces that may then absorb the noise.&quot; The sound may be re-directing right into your backyard! His article may give you some more tips about how you can arrange plants to absorb the noise that is being scattered. Good luck!</description>
