I read it somewhere that active sonar confuses their orientation and they end up on beaches....

yeah, it's sad.

Halifax harbour has a designated sonar unit to keep whales from entering the harbour I heard. From my old shipmates I heard tales of horror trying to sleep onboard when the frigate a jetty away goes PING>>>>>..... <<<<<<<.......

Worse are some "advanced" sonars.. Ping..BRIEIREUEUEEEe....

I'm glad I never went through that experience
