I'm unsure about the scream's phrasing, but not sure if there's really a better way of putting it. The trainer just associates 'short, loud noise of a certain pitch' with 'dead body'. She doesn't really consider it that important. I'll think on this...
As to the plants, you're right, it is ambiguous now that you mention it, but I'm not sure how else she'd put. She's referring to the odd plants mentioned in chapter 3, and she doesn't actually know their names.
And the narrator is 'the trainer', of course! Who needs silly little things like names?
