We covered it in Science earlier this year, though the story didn't catch on too much:
Japan’s new seafloor monitors could reveal how ‘slow slip’ earthquakes turn into big ones
Network could add 20 minutes of tsunami warning at dangerous Nankai Trough

Another interesting cut: the surface warming of the ocean might actually reflect more ship noise than before, swamping the acidification signal and potentially making it quieter (for now).

Ocean soundscapes and trends from 2003 to 2021: 10–100 Hz
We analyze ocean ambient sound from a global network of hydrophones installed and maintained by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization. We proce

Yeah, when the story was a few hundred words longer it went through the flurry of work that Hester et al kicked off in 2008, and how it ultimately found the effect was real but a small threat to the soundscape. But editors etc
Unanticipated consequences of ocean acidification: A noisier ocean at lower pH
We show that ocean acidification from fossil fuel CO2 invasion and reduced ventilation will result in significant decreases in ocean sound absorption for frequencies lower than about 10 kHz. This eff...

I don't see any language in there protecting the Nathaniel Palmer research icebreaker, however.
