Perfectly. FLAC is lossless. You must first record the 30 kHz sounds, i.e. digitize the sound by converting analog to digital, meaning that you must use a sample rate above 60 kHz. Preferably you would use a rate much higher than 60 kHz, such as 96 kHz, so that the frequencies near 30 kHz are not attenuated by the conversion process. Once you have a recording of 30 kHz sounds, FLAC will encode those sounds perfectly, into a file that is smaller than the original. There is no frequency dependence in the format whatsoever, because the original file is preserved exactly.
