Can you hear sonar from inside the ship (generally)

426 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?

It depends on the kind being used and the distance but yes. I was a submariner and when a surface ship was looking for us you could hear it throughout the ship. If we were the ones actively using sonar looking for someone else it can be loud enough to prevent you from sleeping
