Bats use echolocation to sense movement and their surroundings. We cannot hear the high pitched noise they emit because it is of a higher frequency than the human ear can register. There are some sounds of a bat that we can hear, but the sounds that we can't hear is because the squeaks are so high that you really need ultrasound to hear it.

Bats use high-frequency sounds (ultrasound) beyond the range of human hearing to navigate and communicate. These sounds are above 20 kHz, which is generally the upper limit of human hearing.
