I mean, if the in-game effects of a TA on the bottom is not only the obvious washout of the array itself but also a slight production of noise (in the broadband spectrum I suppose) for the boat itself.
The errata specifically says you cannot use both at the same time. So the noise of the other does not, or cannot if it speaks the truth, add together to the one that is selected.

And realistically speaking, the own noise perceived by a dragging sensor would be much stronger than what is perceived from a nearby dragging sensor a couple of yards away. As the distance of where the sound comes from is much more nearer, and thus stronger. Sound levels (decibells) do not really add anyway, as they are really fractions or ratios.
