For what I've read it sounds like someon was throwing pebbles to the hull on the sub side, but it was a sound only, no hitting, also the DC shaking the sub used in the movies is just for eye candy, it's impossible for a DC to shake the sub like an earthquake, if a single DC has the power to do that then the sub will implode

Actively searching...... found it Jim here it is from Ref nonetheless!

I guess we're lucky Hirschfeld's Type IX was a super sub cos it didn't implode and it also sunk to 900' which equates to 270 mtrs if I'm not mistaken. Gosh!
