Looking for a Sonar Mod

Is there a mod that will add biological sounds to the manual sonar sweeps?

If not, can one be made?

No, not exactly. Sonar will only pick up coded hard objects and each has it's own sound, such as ships. They're a few objects in game, such as dolphins that can be picked up on sonar, but rare you will run into them unless you know where to look. Dolphins sound like high chirping radio static on sonar. They're few mods that add sharks and whales, but been so long not sure what attached sounds they may have if any.

I bet I played the game a year before I heard dolphins on sonar. I had no clue, hadn't played with the ME yet..I thought my speakers were going bad. Finally tracked the dolphins down and figured it out..

Even if you cloned fish, etc, you still have to add them to traffic and you're limited because each hard object uses some memory, simply an ocean full of fish would lag out the best PC.
