case closed indeed.

You keep quoting two 'studies' that are not translated. This seems to be the whole of your experience. You are taking these as the 'writ of god' that that are factual and bullet proof evidence to back up your statements.
While we are the silent service we have and will continue to provide insights that you may be unaware of. We will not give you 'time, place, and methods' knowledge.
No matter how much you try to goad us into telling you something that you frankly do not need to know, I have to tell you that it is not going to happen.
Back to the sound level of Soviet boats in the 80's:
When we talk about loud submarines we are talking about so loud that one boat could mask another acoustic point of interest. It was like trying to listen to classical music softly with a punk band playing next door with the amps turned up to 11.
So in the context of one Victor boat to the other it is like comparing two gravel trucks with bad tires driving by. Yeah, one may be 'quieter' but they both still give you a headache. As was stated before, until the NATO coded Akula got in the water they did not have anything resembling a 'quiet' SSN.
