Active sonar ping is audible, so is not ultrasonic. Passive sonar just listens, but it takes time to determine objects bearing, speed & direction of travel. There is ultrasonic sonar for short range detection such as mines and frogman.

What are uses of Ultrasonic waves?
Ultrasound can be used to examine body organs and systems including the heart, pancreas, urinary system, brain, spinal cord, bladder, and cysts. In females, it can be used to view the ovaries, peritoneal cavity, and a fetus in its amniotic sac. It can also be used to guide surgical procedures, for example during the insertion of a biopsy needle into a particular area. Doppler ultrasound is used to measure blood flow. Air, bone, and other calcified tissues absorb nearly all the ultrasound beam, so it cannot be used to examine the bones or lungs.
