I remember this mythbusters episode. They basically detected that plants “might “ scream or signal to other plants. They got some weird outliers too.

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".
