But to make the submarine itself quieter, I think it would have the opposite effect. I doubt noise from wind turbines disrupting sea life is a real problem in the first place, but if it really is, they could try applying some ideas from submarines such as covering the base of turbine tower with rubber tiles. Rubber absorbs vibrations and converts that energy into heat.
