Not everyone has the same hearing range (it tends to get worse as you get older, hence those ultrasonic teenager repellers that people claim are for cats). If a device is running at the very low end of what we consider ultrasound and OP can hear higher than most then maybe they can hear the sensors. I would be surprised if an ultrasonic sensor was running this low though.
People often believe they are hearing ultrasound, but instead are hearing clicking noise or sub-frequencies emitted from the capsule that are not actually part of the ultrasound.
sorry I can still here it.. I sometimes needs to go to the hospital for a check-up on my heart, and I can hear the ultrasound if the device is going over my head.
