hearing the eco ping in SH3+GWX3?

Yes! the second sound is likely sonar_coat or sonar_coat_imp

so... for what cause are these files played ?

They let you know if the asdic has gone 'active' basically.

..so is that higher tone sound the returning echo from your sub to pinging DD?

So, I removed sonar_coat and sonar_coat_imp from Sound folder.. and the weird sound was still there!

I heard more carefully and it's the sonar.wav file for sure, just played a tone higher.

It seems played only under unknown circumstances.. I made some observations, the depth doesn't seem have an effect even if I was able to hear it more frequently when I was close to surface or the sea floor. Moreover for one time I heard only the higher tone from the external view (!?) when I was close to sea floor.. so might it be a bounce echo that is audible only on a defined angle??

I can't honestly say for sure

This is the first time to me, too. Maybe because in SH3 stock and in GWX2 the ping sound is different.

Hasn't anybody heard it yet, in GWX3 ?

Myself and a few others have had a good 'listen around' and don't seem able to identify or replicate what your experiencing
