and this make huge difference in game, of course.
Is 5 PSL really 5dB difference, or 10? I ask this because IIRC the estimated noise levels of those subs in dB are very roughly 2x the PSL value - the Akula is about 115-130dB (dependent on variant and source data) for instance IIRC.

Anyway, with the sub technology having advanced something like 15 years b/w the standard Kilo and the 636, I'm not exactly surprised even if the 636 is indeed 10dB quieter. Supposedly the 688I is also 10 times quieter (10dB) than the original 688, which corresponds roughly to the current PSL in the game (PSL*2=approx dB)
