I think that may be the key factor. Warming something by oscillating its water molecules gives you a more even result than warming it with a heat source limited to a single plane.

I feel bad for the guys and I hope this leads to commercial private submarines being banned.

I went in one while in Hawaii and the whole time my brain is screaming 'is this a good idea? This doesn't seem like a good idea'. I was 17 at the time and wasn't my decision, I was just along for the ride.

It was a wasted trip because the currents were so strong it kicked up the sand and I didn't get to see anything anyway

I hope the banging turns out to be either orcas playing beachball like someone just said, or something along the lines of the Morse radio transmission in On the Beach (it was just a an open window moving in the breeze and tapping the transmit key)

My bet is that it's little chunks of titanium hull that happened to implode and shower the area with shattered metal. Some of it could be banging into the Titanic wreck or into each other.

It's too small to make "banging" sounds underwater if it's in pieces. (Yes I'm an expert trained in listening to things underwater.)

They had a worldwide sonar array back in the 60s capable of clearly recording and triangulating the death sounds of Soviet sub K-129 and USS Scorpion. Those are obviously much bigger than the Minnow 2 or whatever they called their death canister but I'll bet that they detected it in close to real time or at least were able to go back and find it immediately once someone told them the sub might be in trouble.

That's the SOSUS array and they turned it over to academics once the cold war ended.

And I mean I'm sure they have a modern version of it that's hush hush but yeah.

During ww2, the is navy could locate a depth implosion from a metal ball the size of a softball in the Pacific Ocean.

They used it as a rescue beacon for downed airmen. Just toss a hollow metal ball into the water, and eventually a search team will show up in the area.
