How bats use sound to help them fly?

Bats use sonar to sense their surroundings. Sonar works by the bat making a high-pitched call and listening to the echo from nearby objects. So bats definitely do make a noise when they fly. Also, a bat's wings are not designed for stealth, so even if you do not recognise a bat's sonar call, then you would hear the wings beating when a bat flies close to you. In reality, nobody really thinks about the noise of bat's wings because of the noisy call.

What is the distance that a person can hear the echo of a sound?

It is difficult to say how far the human ear can pick up sounds. The distance a human ear can hear varies according to the condition of the ear, the frequency of the sound, and other sounds taking place at the same time.

How do vampire bats attack their victims?

By far the most famous bat in the world is the vampire bat. This species has a close association with vampires and mythological stories. The real Vampire Bats are found in Mexico and do feed on the blood of warm blooded animals, such as cattle, horses, or birds. The vampire bat does not actually like the taste of human blood and much prefer other warm blooded animals instead. The vampire bat is one of the only species of bat that feeds on blood. They do not, however, suck this blood. Instead, the bat makes a small cut in the skin of a sleeping animal with their sharp teeth. The bat's saliva has an aesthetic in it that reduces the likelihood of the animal feeling the insertion. They then lap the blood up as it flows from the fresh wound. There is a special anticoagulant contained in the bats saliva that prevents their victim's blood from clotting until the bat has finished its meal. The bat only needs about two teaspoons of blood a day, so the blood loss is minimal and rarely causes any harm to their victim.
