I himself have information, that US submarine "SSN-579" fire 1 torpedo "Mk-37" against soviet submarine 627 project 21 may 1968 year. After 2 circling above soviet submarine "Mk-37" find noise target and homing in to "SSN-579" and hit in place where bow part sail us submarine. It was so US submarine have more then 3 parts more noise than soviet submarine and torpedo after 2 circling above soviet boat not find boat and instead himself find american submarine.
And about noise:
In 1985 year soviet submarine "K-517" during testing new acoustik complex have range in Barents sea:
soviet submarine project 667A (NATO - Yankee) 315 cabl
soviet submarine project 641 (NATO - Foxtrot) 134 cabl
american submarine Los Angeles class 400 cabl
You can see, that american submarine more noise than soviet submarines. In this case US submarine Los Angeles was more noise than soviet submarine project 667A what is built near 20 years early.
