DD's hear you, med range, @ 4knots from behind?

I just approached a convoy at peri depth, silent running. Got past the flower corvette. The corvette was zig zagging away from me. Waited until he was medium range.
Opened to 4 kts. And I was surprised the detection indicator turned red. Periscope was down so the flower must have hear me. No other dd's in the area. Time is 1940 late.

Can destroyers hear behind even at 4 kts?
