I don't know. But sea water isn't a homogeneous medium as far as sound propagation is concerned. There are layers of changing salinity, temperature etc and these can effectively cut off sound propagation. Submarines (used to?) depend on such effects to avoid detection. Also, would the implosion necessarily be that loud? It would be like crushing a large tin really. Maybe blends in with background noise.

Like crushing a tin can with tactical nuke. 400 atmosphere of seawater pressure suddenly slamming together creates massive pressure wave.
