No sound from wind / sea during storm

[jason210]

Hi

The sub was in a thunderstorm off the east coast of Britain. The sea it was very rough but I found the experience in to be strangely quiet when the engine speed was set to 2 or less. All I could hear was the purr of the Diesels and an occasionally peel of thunder.

Is this normal? I would expect to hear wind howling through the guy wires and some considerable noise from the spray waves.
