The first time I heard a sonar ping from a dipping hydrophone on an SH-3 helicopter, I was surprised. It sounded like someone clinking two wrenches together. Not that cool, unique sound Hollywood used. Obviously, it should different in water than on dry land where I heard it. One would expect the decaying echo would be missing in air. I've never heard an actual ping in the water, but I wouldn't think movie makers would likely be too far off, though they often are.
