Their wing-beats are just audible if you are close enough in quiet surroundings.

I have experienced this - it's a lovely soft, velvety whisper.

Young people with their ears in full health may be able to hear some bats' navigation and social calls, as rapid, very faint clicks, again in close proximity in quite surroundings. I have done myself - when I was about 20.

Generally though the call frequencies render the squeaks and chirps themselvesultrasonic - far above the human ear's frequency range.

Deepnding on species the hunting call chirps can range from about 50kHz to well over 100kHz, and at very high rates. They chirp because that gives much mroe accurate discrimination of prey from background than would be given by a single-pitch "cheep".

The sound pressure level of bat in full cryis extraordinarily high considering the tiny size of the animal's vocal tract, although the amount of energy in it is obviously very low: some bats can call at over 120dB re 20µPa that is the Threshold of Hearing for humans; and many can exceed 100dB.
