I'll leave it at this...you aren't hearing even half of what's out there. 
Remembering my oath...  |
Headphones add great atmosphere to sonar operations.I like to hear actual differences between sounds of cargo ships and,let's say fishing boats,the way blades are rotating.I think that sonar specialists also use headphones alongside waterfall displays in real subs. |
My time on the boat has instilled in me the need to have one ear piece off and one on no matter the application. I'll be working at my cubical listening to music and have people laughing at the sight of a ear piece behind my ear.
Kids get in trouble all of the time as I'm able to hear little things they say. |
Anyway,listening gives additional abilities than just viewing.Signals maybe too weak to distinguish them even on waterfall displays.At least,if you scroll through bearings,you may find out the bearing of "something unusual" in field of background noises.You can plan further actions in appropriate way,take favourable positions according to that possibly dangerous signal and so on.
Do you remember "Hunt for the Red October" movie?Of course,it's just a movie,but I really like the way conn sonar guy is working there on USS Dallas.
