Ultrasonic frequencies refer to sounds or waves that are too high-pitched for humans to hear. They vibrate very quickly and have a frequency above the range of our hearing abilities.

These humidifiers create a fine mist by exciting and evaporating water using a small diaphragm that vibrates
at ultrasonic frequencies.
These pest control units broadcast
variable ultrasonic frequencies from 22 KHz to 65 KHz to repel pests and keep them from adjusting to the uncomfortable noise.
FastCompany reports that Chinese researcher have shown that translating voice commands into
ultrasonic frequencies inaudible to humans are easily recognized by voice assistants.
That's exciting, he says, because it's «probably less delicate and more robust,» and should inspire engineers to make extremely small, sensitive microphones that can hear
in ultrasonic frequencies, as well as improve medical devices like hearing aids.
They took normal voice commands and converted them
into ultrasonic frequencies too high for humans to hear, but still perfectly clear for microphones on voice assistants.
It eliminates the need for a harmful chemical detergent because of its powerful 42,000
Hz ultrasonic frequency waves which provide an effective cleaning solution.
The device, known as a transducer, identifies structural defects with
varying ultrasonic frequencies and overcomes the limits of other, similar devices, which are based on rigid structures and have narrow ranges.
If you want a really safe product, you might want to
consider ultrasonic frequency neck bands as these utilize high - pitched, ultra-high frequency sounds to disorient fleas and ticks.
Ultrasonic Humidifier: In this case, instead of the fan there is a little metal diaphragm, which vibrates
at ultrasonic frequency, breaking the water into small drops, which then becomes a vapor mist.
A group of researchers discovered that
ultrasonic frequencies inaudible to humans can be used as a way to access voice - enabled assistants such as Siri, Google Assistant, and Cortana.
Security researchers have warned that voice assistants made by the likes of Amazon, Google and Apple could be «hacked» by remote attackers broadcasting commands
in ultrasonic frequencies.
A team of researchers at China's Zhejiang University discovered the vulnerability; dubbing the technique as «DolphinAttack», researchers have managed to modulate the frequency of a voice command made by a human,
into ultrasonic frequencies.
Ultrasonic humidifiers typically use a metal or ceramic diaphragm that vibrates at
an ultrasonic frequency to create water droplets.
The nebulizer vibrates at
an ultrasonic frequency to create mist that easily dissipates into the air, rather than droplets that fall to the ground.
The variable
ultrasonic frequencies are another feature we liked for a long - term solution to mild pest control issues.
To woo females, male mice whistle complex songs at
ultrasonic frequencies.
A more sophisticated approach involves vibrating the screen in and out at
ultrasonic frequencies, says Colgate.
Already they have developed a preliminary prototype «microphone eardrum,» but so far it works only at
ultrasonic frequencies.
The diagnosis of feline heartworm disease is not as straightforward in cats as it is in dogs, but your veterinarian is able to screen them through blood testing, x-rays and an ultrasoundSound or other vibrations having
an ultrasonic frequency used in medical imaging.
Those products that use
the ultrasonic frequency alone may not be effective indoors.
The outdoor ones generally use
an ultrasonic frequency and / or water.
The ultrasonic frequency or even the audible alarm may not be effective on a cat who is comfortable inside the house.
For indoor use, some use
an ultrasonic frequency, others an audible alarm, and others use a spray repellent (such as compressed air), or a combination.
Sound or other vibrations having
an ultrasonic frequency, particularly as used in medical imaging.
Your veterinarian may also recommend x-rays and / or abdominal ultrasoundSound or other vibrations having
an ultrasonic frequency, particularly as used in medical imaging.
25kHz and 180Hz: Those are
the ultrasonic frequencies that Cuban spies might have used in order to eavesdrop on (and potentially deafen) US and Canadian Embassy workers last year, according to a study from the University of Michigan.
The Chromecast guest mode uses
an ultrasonic frequency sequence to identify itself and connect to your device.
A group of researchers discovered that
ultrasonic frequencies inaudible to humans can be used as a way to access voice - enabled assistants such as Siri, Google Assistant, and Cortana.
On an even more concerning note, playing back audio at
these ultrasonic frequencies requires equipment that costs a total of just $ 3, minus the cost of a smartphone; anyone with the technical knowledge can, therefore, make use of the vulnerability.
In order to stop devices from responding to audio at
ultrasonic frequencies, the voice assistants would have to begin ignoring commands at 20KHz and other frequencies in which humans can not speak or hear.
Right now,
the ultrasonic frequencies may only affect voice assistants when played from 5 or 6 feet away.
