I wouldn't expect much sound, water is very dense so only very low frequencies can effectively travel through it. From the pictures, this thing doesn't seem big enough to make much of an impact in that regard. As for marine life, it would probably be a matter of how fast it travels underwater, which the article unfortunately doesn't mention.
