pinging a merchant

Does actively pinging a merchant result in the merchant hearing the ping and changing its course? - i was tracking a merchant with passive sonar but i can't see any other way of getting even a "probable course" without active pinging it at least twice for a heading...

So.. should is the merchant changing course due to my pinging? And if so what is the correct way of figuring out its course with only a hydrophone aob?

thanks in advance
