Hey, i never quite knew where to post this so hope its okay here.
can sound waves specifically ultrasound around the 25 kHz mark be directed sort of how a laser pen directs light.

Sure, there are a myriad of ways to create a highly directional sound beam though the principle is similar to antennas than a laser. However, I do not know how large the radiator would be since I work with electromagnetics but the principles are the same.
