A retired US Navy submariner/sonar officer by the channel name of Sub Brief (previously Jive Turkey) says the 2000s Type 093A sub has a noise level of 110 dB, around the same level as a 1990s improved Victor III. He should be a pretty credible source on this given his background ... also goes to show Chinese nuclear subs maybe far quieter than many of us expect considering the 093A is pretty old technology (almost two decades old).

It's actually 八一 (August 1) and is meant to celebrate the founding of the People's Liberation Army, which was founded on August 1, 1927.

Well he did serve in the Pacific as a submariner and he is very knowledgeable of sonar and submarine detectability in his videos. If anything, what he said about the 093A is extremely reasonable, especially the 110 dB noise level.

any evidence for such claim on our submarine? Like deino, I like to see image for it

Well that is the number he claims, which is line with other claims made of the 093A's noise level ... personally, 110 db sounds like a very reasonable estimate for a early 2000s Chinese nuclear submarine.

There are no images to show a 110 db sound level lol
