As long as you don't change the name or location of the file, it should be fine.

I've swapped out complete .wav files for sounds I like better than what was there originally, as long as the name/location in the game folder is the same (and the new file is not so huge in size that it bogs down the system) all that happens is that I hear the new sound instead of the old one. In theory you could record yourself making 'vroom vroom' sounds and make a .wav file of it named Submarine_diesel_exterior.wav and put it in the data/Sound file in place of the original, and then in the game you'd hear yourself making 'vroom vroom' sounds every time the diesels were running.
thats interesting....the vrooom vrooom. i was thinking more of a chug chug chug. i have been 'adjusting' today aswell and also installed a sound mod to give the diesels more meat. i love that gentle rocking purr they have at a steady 7knots. i fall asleep, like Johanne, for a little snooze with these diesels purring in the background. and i think with better speakers than the ones i have - they are 8 year old desk top's - it will sound deeper too.

some great sound effects in there too - some i have yet to hear in-game.

cheers!
