They're only two different tones per say, the high pitch you send out and the duller bong which is your active hitting the target. As stated, the active pitch can change speed as they go from longscale to short scale, but the return bong remains the same. If you look in the game sound files you will find softer and louder sonar pings, but the same pitch, so they do go that far.

If you're hearing the high active pinging from Friendlys, possibly your mod setup, but I don't think it was included in stock or most mods. I've been all around Friendly TF's submerged and never once have they gone active on me.

Obvious the return bong sound depends on how close the target hit was, far away it could take 30 seconds or more. To get range to your target, you wait for the return and send data the second you get it for range.
