Well it's not modeled per say but speed does affect how you are detect, as does your depth. Keep it under 100 RPM's, closer to 50 , you are pretty quiet.Having silent running on will help.Depth plays in as it would at cavitation, example, I have been at 600 feet in a Balao running ahead standard at 6 knots and remained undetected by passive sonar of escorts 1800 yards away because I was deep, no cavitation there(O Kane mentions this in his book CLEAR THE BRIDGE)
So it seems that it may be worth taking note of.

Where's that at?
It's on a metal plate on the indicators port side of command room where all the red and green lights are.
It actually shows RPM at different depths, basically the deeper you are the more RPM's you can have.
