  • Dial-up modems used sound to transmit data over telephone networks.
  • Zoom Rooms use ultrasonic sound for proximity detection in meetings.
  • Ultrasonic signals enable instant connection without pairing codes or Bluetooth.
  • The ultrasonic frequencies used by Zoom are slightly audible to some people.
  • Hearing damage over time may reduce the ability to hear these frequencies.
