Sound from ultrasound

Ultrasound is sound waves with a frequency that is too high for humans to hear. Ultrasound is often used by doctors to see inside a person's body. Ultrasound waves travel through the body and bounce off of different parts inside. Those bouncing waves create an image of what is inside the body on a special monitor, like a TV screen!
