Interestingly enough, humans have been able to use echo location, primarily in blind individuals. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation

Yeah! As far as I can tell from the research, what's going on there is primarily getting range information from the amplitude of the return (rather than delay or phase like "real" sonar uses). But still, it's very useful our brains are elastic enough to allow us to develop new senses!
