When I got a calathea
plant I had no idea it'd be scratching walls and making rustling
sounds spookily. =D Turns out, every day calatheas move their leaves
up and down because why not, right? =D
“Calathea [...] closes
its leaves at night and opens them again in the morning! This is the
reason why Calathea is also called the ‘living plant’. The plant
owes this ability to a small ‘joint’ between the leaf and stem.
Light moves the joints and, as a result, Calathea’s leaves open and
close – which is sometimes accompanied by a rustling sound.”

A little after midnight.
Around noon.
In the evening.
Here are time-lapse videos
of different calathea species moving during the day:
