Hey uhh if you can barely hear it over the engines what do you think the enemy is going to hear first?

Honestly I doubt that its modeled hell they have a hard time hearing me while I scoot around at flank... er extreme speed.

I compared the volume vs. the volume in SH4.

The gramophone was historically only used while the boat was stopped, during calm weather, otherwise it would skip.

on the surface it shouldnt be an issue. submerged, theoretically they are likely to be able to detect the noise.

It'd depend on the submarine. Historically, whatever nations liked classical musics were hard to detect, but us Norwegians, with our passions for metal, were easy pickings. Germans evaded identification for a long time by singing British songs, but in 1941 the British managed to capture a German gramophone and disk library and the secret was exposed. The war went downhill for the u-boats from there.
