to answer your question directly, not that i can tell.
i have walked down RPM from the hundreds down to 20-30 and there is no decrease in performance, but there is significant sound reduction at low speeds.
so....bottom line, if you are doing flank, submerged, you will make flank-noise, however, if you are doing 1-2-3 kts with low RPM, you will be deuce difficult to detect.
