Idea for a whale-sounds mod

I just watched Bill Oddie on BBC again.
He was visiting Vancouver Island, and had a great time listening to killerwhales singing in the bay.

I remember when SH3 got released, that I made a few grammophone-tracks of whale-songs.
But it just didn't feel right, having to switch on the grammo, to hear whales "by coincidence".
I really would love to hear them through the hydrophone!
And maybe even through the hull of the sub, when they're really big and close!

So my question is:

Is it possible, to create sound-objects travelling random, below the surface?
Just like AI-subs, but with no 3D-model...only a virtual object, which only produces sounds?

I know a Blue Whale produces like 130db, for example.

Here and here are a few recordings to be found.
