1924 Ann. Rep. National Res. Council Canada 23 Ultra Sonics are sound vibrations of a pitch higher than those which are audible.

1931 Nature 21 Feb. 284/2 Prof. F. L. Hopwood discussed ultra-sonics or inaudible sounds.

1957 A. C. Clarke Deep Range i. 10 Sub 5 was still close enough to the mother ship for radio to work, but before long he'd have to switch to the ultrasonics.

1960 New Biol. 31 32 The bacteria which have been treated by ultrasonics..cannot multiply any more.

1972 R. E. Ornstein Psychol. of Consciousness (1975) ii. 19 We normally consider that our senses are the ‘windows’ to the world... But such a view..is not entirely true, for a primary function of sensory systems taken as a whole is to discard ‘irrelevant’ information, such as X-rays, infrared radiation, or ultrasonics.
