That "Knot Dial" is the second half of the Telegraph Dial, along the bottom right of your task bar. You can set specific slower speeds then what the Telegraph will give you there. By clicking just below each Dial, you'll get a different set of Dials/Gauges. The Compass will produce a Rudder Gauge to individually set the rudder to a certain degree of angle. The Shallow Depth Gauge turns into a Deep Depth gauge.

As far as the interior ambient sounds of the sub goes, there is no capability of lowering the volume when you would like it to....like when silent running. Just a part of the game the developers didn't quite get right, and there's nothing we can do about it. This background noise DOES NOT effect the enemy detection though....it has no effect. It's the subs RPM that triggers a sound detection, plus the capability of the enemy to find the sub with "active" sonar (that's the pinging you're hearing), no matter how little of noise you may be producing.
