ultrasonically
At high frequencies
Ultrasonically describes something done by means of ultrasound—sound waves at frequencies too high for human ears to detect.
The adverb typically modifies verbs describing cleaning, welding, or medical imaging procedures: The jewelry was ultrasonically cleaned.
Bats navigate ultrasonically, using echolocation to find prey and avoid obstacles in complete darkness.
