No. I don't think the torpedo's motor noise is reduced by launching it at slow speed (in the sim).

it is Timmy
try an ADCAP launch, with one at 55knts and the other at 40 knts
sent them to 15 miles and return them to your position
You will see, at same distance, the 40 knts torp is quieter than the 55knts one on your sonar.
That's good news, although I'm not sure it will have much effect at typical engagement ranges
