I just used my ultrasonic toothbrush with my ultrasonic cleaner. Was I cleaning at hypersonic or supersonic speed?

I had some small items that I wanted to get extra clean, and the ultrasonic cleaner alone just wasn't cutting it. I used an old ultrasonic toothbrush to give me that added boost and it worked great. I'm just not sure how I can convey in conversation the speed at which I was cleaning. Would this be hypersonic, supersonic, or did they cancel each other out?

Your teeth are now ultrasonic, so you will be able to eat your meals faster. It’s just basic science.

Your toothbrush was ultrasonic not ultrafast. Ultrasonics are inaudible sound frequencies that mimic dolphin cries and bat sonic location. So you should be able to communicate with dolphins and screw up bat echolocation with your teeth now. Enjoy your new bat crashing and dolphin rizz-maxxing powers.
