Unlikely because it’s ultrasonic sound, at least if you have brick walls.

Could work for drywalls



Not a chance. Drywall will absorb this like a sponge. These frequencies are really high and will reflect off hard or thin surfaces, drywall is relatively soft, more often than not has insulation packed into the center and is usually covered in some kind of stucco or grout. Zero chance of penetration.

Just stand on the other side of a drywall and see how well high pitched normally audible sounds get through vs the much lower frequency sounds. It sounds decidedly muffled because all the high has been absorbed.
