No, it just means they are looking. Stay slow until you actually hear the DD's engines overhead. At that point, due to the fact that sonar has a limit to the angle it can aim downward, they can't hear you anymore. They are effectively dropping 'blind'. That's when you go to flank speed, turn hard one direction or the other, and drop 20 metres or more. Then go silent again.
