With over twenty years of experience maintaining/operating a wide variety of RADAR systems. I have never seen or read about a RADAR system that operated on sound. However, I am a fair person so tell the specific RADAR (name, AN designation) and I will bow to you. What Hollywood does is simulate a beeping tone when the RADAR sweeps by a contact. This is done for the drama effect.
As a twenty year veteran of the US Navy- as a Radarman-I am mystified when Radar contacts are shown making a sound like a sonar contact. In reality watching a radar scope is boring; because it makes no noise. So leave it to hollywood to jazz up a movie.

Yes well relax. It's representive of the "Tench" class. I suppose if you want to be a stickler for detail they should have used a "Gato" class
