If a satellite falls in the ocean, can anyone hear it?

I was watching a program on cable the other evening where people were
talking about how the Tu-95 Bear was so loud insert Match Game
reference here that it could be heard and tracked on SOSUS. That got
me wondering - if a satellite (or meteorite) were to strike the ocean,
might something like SOSUS be able to hear it and so help determine
the point of impact?

opinion I would think it would be just a big splash, whereas the Tu-95
would make a more constant noise. A splash might be lost in the background
noise.

Depends a little on what nearly a billion worth of satellite, spent
rocket parts and nearly a decade worth of a couple dozen highly paid
physics and science expertise plus infrastructure should sound like.

As of lately our NASA has been dropping and/or exploding a number of
spendy missions and R&D that wasn't supposed to go thump, splat or
kaboom.

If we could find that supposedly defective OCO clamshell, there's a
good chance an independent team of CSI could uncover how and by who it
was sabotaged.

We should know within a km2 as to the splashdown of our spendy OCO.
