Bats use their vocal tract to make ultrasonic sound the same way we use our vocal tract to make audible sound. They use these for a form of SONAR navigation allowing them to "see" in total darkness. Also many insect eating bats can focus their ultrasonic sound to use it to stun their prey.

No, we cannot hear the ultrasound waves that they use. The sounds the bats make, are high-pitched, and no human could hear it.
