1. In the stock game, it attenuates sound by something like 30%. Several mods change this down to 20% or less.
2. Dive as deep as possible. Run at 1kt when they're right over you, 2kts when they've moved off a little bit, 3 or 4 knots when you can. Your best best is to always dive at 4 knots just after firing a salvo, and turning ninety or more degrees to take you away from the firing position. Once you get some depth (60+ meters) and the torpedoes have impacted, reduce speed as the destroyers close in. You are better off using approach and attack configurations which don't put you in the position of being detected. The "dead stick" approach works in every case I've used it, in deep water.
