yes,specially if it is the case of under ground pipes as it can detect the sound of lowest volume a excess sound is heard it can lead to detection.
Sonar is a method of sound based ranging. Therefore as an object it is not subject to an antonym. There is the principal of radar which can also range, but it uses radio waves instead.
SONAR; SOund Detection And Ranging.

One technology oceanographers use to explore the ocean floor is multibeam sonar. This advanced sonar system emits multiple sonar beams in a fan shape to create a detailed 3D map of the seafloor topography. Multibeam sonar helps scientists to accurately study the features and structures of the ocean floor.
RADAR - Radio Detection and Ranging SONAR - Sound Navigation and Ranging
SONAR is actually an abbreviation for SOund Navigation And Ranging. RADAR is correspondingly an abbreviation for RAdio Detection And Ranging. LIDAR is correspondingly an abbreviation for LIght Detection And Ranging.

Ocean topography has been determined through sonar detection.

The maximum range of detection for submarines using sonar varies depending on the decibel level. Higher decibel levels can detect submarines at greater distances compared to lower decibel levels.
Richard Charles Curley has written: 'A sonar detection model'
Many species of sharks do not use sonar, as they have very effective senses, but some species are thought to. The hammerhead shark, in particular, is thought to use sonar waves detection.
