Anyway my test campaign mission was sept 1943. Moot point now as a single DD was hounding me for 6 hours game time. With 1000m min distance stealth meter would stay completely green allowing me to attempt escape then when DD was approx 1000m distance the meter would go instantly red, DD would come charging back to my area inside the safe 1000m zone he lost me and would meander around searching w/o using active sonar(SR, any speed/any depth made no difference he could not detect me). I would attempt to get away but as soon as he got to the magic 1000m line he would start all over. This went on for 6 hours. I finally got fed up and took the boat too deep in an attempt to evade.
Starting again same time frame but this time I'll reset the crew ratings and noise as you recommended.

that sounds familiar--- had the same scenario last patrol--- late 1942 but the lone hunter killer DD gave up after around half an hour--

my next patrol should be in 1943 so i will be keeping an eye out for any problems--

this is another reason why testing in single missions is a complete waste of time--
