This is wonderful! I can't help but to be reminded of the book (and excellent movie) The Hunt For Red October, where a [edit] "caterpillar" drive on The Red October sounds like seismic activity, but when sped up is clearly mechanical. This is not he same, I know, but it has the same vibe.

https://geohazards.earth.utah.edu/tones/BigArrowhead.html has a distinctly underwater sound to it.

Whoever thought to do this... Kudos to you! (And I... was never here...)

It's similar to what the astronomy people do with the data from probes floating in space collect [0]. They keep trying to find ways to make the data interesting as opposed to just numbers in a spreadsheet.
