It is NOT the pinging sound of the submarine's sonar. It is ASDIC, probably from an escorting destroyer, in sweep scan modus. Therefore the multiple pings in regular interval. It is per se not unrealistic, though IRL no submarine kaleun would stay in the periscope depth when ASDIC was around, let alone raising his periscope. But I guess the most daring (and foolish) one would.
