structure would look like this:
main 4/100 node - SoundSource, AmbientVolume, SonarTarget

- child 4/100 node - SoundSource, AmbientVolume, SonarTarget

Yep, I thought of this easy method just after pushing the "Submit Reply" button
As for hydrophone sounds, it seems we don't need to resort to the node structure you have depicted. I got several hydro-sounds linked to the very same parent node playing at once, by simply putting a SonarTarget controller after each SoundSource entry in DSD file. But, since they had different min and max radius set in sdl file, I had to sort them from the lowest (on top) to the loudest, otherwise only the loudest, the one having the highest maximum range set in sdl, was played.
P.S. as suggested by you, I've tried to switch to "Effect" the identifier of sounds whose volume I wanted to change. But something was wrong:
they started to be played in sonar room (where their volume was set to 0) while on external camera their audible range was greatly shortened (ignoring sdl ranges). On the other hand, external cam above water volume was set to .5, and this time the sound was audible, but I couldn't hear any differece with the underwater volume that was set to full (1). I am missing something, or for what I am trying to do the Effect identifier doesn't work either...
