They will then have equal noise emissions at each speed, with the caveat that since the SW is faster, as it passes the Virginia's max speed it will then exceed the Virginia's noise levels.
Another approach is to make each boat the same noise at each's respective top speed, but the result will be that the SW will also be quieter than the Virginia at any equal speed.
Hope that makes sense.

..Seems some people are still here, 5 years later, wow.
Anyway, thank you very much for the response. I That thrust dialog doesn't make it easy to figure out though how much louder it gets per knot- I suppose you have to divide the speed noise into how many knots? Seawolf is base 0, then speed 17 - the seawolves i have set to a flank speed of 40 knots(stock DW is 40, RA puts them at subcommand's 35, i undid that)
..17/40 is .0425... so for every knot, , the noise goes up by .425, eh?
Hm, then if i set the Seawolf and Jimmy carter passive sonar level to the Virginia's 53..(or maybe 52)- then all that's left is the 0 -17 speed noise of SW, and 3 - 16 vir
Except, as you mentioned 5 years ago, that's 3 +16.(for the Vir) So it's 19, compared to 0 +17 at top speed(SW) So all i need to do is make the passive sonar level 53 , and the SW is quieter off the bat. Or 52....
Thanks for the advice LoBlo
