Can you hear sonar from inside the ship (generally)

377 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?

Unless things have changed and I’m sure they have, yes you can hear it. It gets pretty annoying, too. I can’t tell you anything about sonar, passive or active. But, I’ve spend days on a submarine being pinged by a surface ship back in the 70s. It was so annoying.
