Are there 'micro-sounds' ?

Are there sounds too small/soft for a human to perceive, or to be recorded and played back on conventional equipment? As an (extremely silly) example, is there a sound of the joints on an ant's leg moving, the waveform of which is far too minute for an ear or microphone to detect? Are there non-audible-to-humans methods of measuring such sounds? I would be fascinated to hear about any and all aspecs of this question. Thanks!

Yes, of course.

If you convince an ant to walk on the membrane of a microphone, you could record the sound of its little legs quite easily. Perhaps use a loudspeaker instead of a microphone (they are interchangeable to some extent), because it has a larger membrane. Seems like a nice science project for a week-end.
