You misremember it a bit. They saw "activity" when the thing was connected to the plant. Then they moved the plant into a steel container and the readings stopped. They hypothesized that they detected something like vibrations from a busy street etc, not a plant "screaming".

Mythbusters episodes are all over YouTube free for everyone. Just a little FYI in case you feel nostalgic
