Can you hear the ultrasound waves that a bat uses for echolocation?
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.
Can an elephant Purr like a Cat?
Not exactly like a cat, no. Cats purr by using muscles that vibrate their vocal cords, while elephant vocal cords are so large that they can make a similar noise without being specially vibrated. Elephants can, and do, make a noise similar to cats purring. This sound is called 'tummy rumbling' because it sounds a bit like a tummy rumple. Elephants make this sound to keep in contact and let the rest of the heard know that all is well.

How does the larynx make sound?
When air from the lungs is passed over the vocal cords inside the larynx, they vibrate. This makes a sound. The vocal cords are tightened or relaxed to change their length. This changes the speed of vibration which alters the pitch. If only the larynx is involved, the sound comes out as a dull 'aaah' in varying pitch. No recognisable words can be formed without the use of the lips, teeth, tongue and palate. This is why people with serious facial injuries or with many teeth missing often have trouble speaking or being understood.
