The weather was as clear and calm as you could get.I think it may have just been the odd creak,it wouldnt surprise me being at sea,all manner of noises could be heard I reckon.The sound didnt loop,it was for about 2 secs and then disappeared,starting up again say 10mins later or so,similar to the noise of the cough you hear now and then inside the UBoat.
Regarding TC I never TC important things,maneuvers,dives,surfaces,stalking,evasion and so on,its all done in real time,the only time I TC is when enroute to a destination,and that is never higher than 128,and never higher than 32 when in suspected air coverage zones.

Cheers.
