A sonar system detects sounds produced by the sub's engines and by its passage through the water, or it detects the echo of sonar signals bounced off a target. Submarines operating underwater avoid detection by silencing the sounds they make. Silent Running | Marine Sonar Submarines | Sound Vibrations Submarines | Sonar Detects Submarines The basic hull and propulsion systems of a modern submarine are specially designed to minimize noise. Some submarines have special rubberized coatings or tiles affixed to the exterior hull to absorb enemy sonar signals. Other subs mount their machinery or other noise-making equipment on flexible rubberized baffles to prevent the sound vibrations from being transmitted through the hull. Another technique for avoiding detection is to hide the submarine in pockets of colder seawater, which form an acoustic layer that sonar waves can not penetrate.
