I thought the Oscar\\\'s have a fat layer of rubber between the outer and inner pressure hulls to cut off sound from their motors!
The outer hull of a submarine is plated with a layer of rubber 100 mm (approximately 4 inches).
The metal well transmits a sound and the propeller shaft outputs sounds out boats.
The low level of hum for modern boats is stipulated not only layer of rubber, but also some changes in an engine installation.
