The best way to know for sure would be to test it in multiplayer or in a custom scenario to test detection distance versus target speed.

The link below is to a pretty good intro into sound profile/noise levels for submarines.

Thanks for the link it's a bit hard to understand but I'll just read it often and research things.
So due the special architecture of the 212A (having those cells (don't know the English name sorry )) it should be easily possible to drive with 7-9+ knots pretty quite (depending on weather/ water / etc ))
