Hehe, might have been doing the same thing I was.. dropping to 150m, ordering silent running... and then wondering how the hell they were following me everywhere I went. Turns out 'silent running' isn't the only thing you need to do - drop your speed with the 'advanced' controls (where you're given a speed bar) to about half a knot (not the one knot silent running gives you, do this after ordering it).
The idea is to keep your screw rpm below 50. There are rpm gauges in the Engine Room & Conning Tower so you can see when you've achieved it. If you do, you'll be much, much harder to hear. It won't *always* save your bacon, but it's a damn sight more effective than just silent running on its own.
Of course, if you're getting caught in shallow water nothing will save you.. but this might help
