I don't think "what's that?" would make sense to say when you didn't hear someone clearly. Saying "what?" works but is super informal and saying "sorry, what did you say? I couldn't hear you?" is probably best but lastly you can also say "pardon?" though that can come off somewhat formal / less casual!

What? is a general form when you are asking and if you say What’s that? it is demonstrative like you are pointing something specific

You use "that" when you are talking about one object that isn't near to you (for objects near to you, you should use "this"). So "what's that?" is used when you want to know what is an object.

If someone speaks to you, but you didn't hear them clearly, you can ask them to repeat it by saying:
What?
What's that"
What was that?
What did you say?
Sorry?
Excuse me?
Repeat that, please.
Pardon?
Beg your pardon?
Please?
All are acceptable. In the US, which is more common can depend on the part of the country you are in.

“What’s that” is somewhat rude. You might hear older, cranky people say it. It’s also regional (southern or Appalachian) or based on education level. You could say “what?”if you know the person well. Otherwise, say “excuse me” or “could you repeat that, please?”

@meganoconnor825 Yes, I wouldn't say 'what' or 'what's that' to a boss or professor.
