Can you hear sonar from inside the ship (generally)

430 viewsOtherTechnology

Say you are shooting a pulse at a ship, will someone in the target ship hear said pulse? If they were leaning on some part of the inner hull attached to the outter hull.

Second question, does the using the sonar hear their own pulse? Like some joe in the mess hall is having having coffee and the technician decides to ping somewhere, if its quiet enuff will he hear it?

Yes, sonar is quite loud, so loud that it can be dangerous to people in the water close to the ship. In fact here’s a recording.

Friend of mine is a former Navy sailor and tells me this instantly reminds him of being in his bunk listening to the sonar pinging.
