Torpedoes whether they are using active or passive guidance are noisy beasts. So yes the enemy submarine will here your torpedos. If you're using an active guidance torpedo and activate it, the enemy will hear the torpedo on passive sonar and on active intercept. If you use a passive guidance torpedo or an active torpedo that has not yet been activated the enemy sub will hear the torpedo on passive sonar but will not see it in active intercept.
Always try to set the RTE to something like 75-85% of the range to target (once you have a firing solution). More accurate is your firing solution, the bigger the RTE can be.
If you're not sure of your firing solution, its best to use a 70-75% of range for RTE.
