In my opinion, it only come from the ship's bearing ,not all bearing around.
1. The tooltip says it will alert them but ive been pinging convois and it did not alert the escorts. I think it can alert escorts when you are pinging from very close range directly agains escort ship.

2. Its not in every bearing. When you are very deep or behind the escort the pings stop. Thats not because they stopped it but because youre outside of the arc. So its directional.
