BOLD device - active/passive sonar decoy?

Is the BOLD sonar decoy in SH3 modelled as an active AND passive sonar decoy? I thought it was a decoy for active sonar; some sort of bubble screen reflects sonar pings. On the other hand, he graphic makes it look like it is cavitating, and hence i wondered if it was accompanied by sound. If so, I could use it as a noise screen to help with my escape. Come to think of it, why didn't subs have decoy devices that make a huge amount noise, and thereby destroy the acoustic environment during their escape?
