That ping likely came from the day room on board ship where a pong was also detected.
Very difficult to believe they really don’t know. Something as large and fast moving as an airliner hits the surface of the ocean has to make a detectable and pinpointable noise. The question isn’t ‘will we ever find out’ but rather, ‘will we ever be told’.
Isn't "Pong" REALLY old technology?
You should send that to Jimmy Falon or Jimmy Kimmel. Too funny.
3.2.1
A
n Underwater Location Beacon (ULB) fitted to an aircraft flight recorder
is triggered by immersion in water. It will emit an ultrasonic pulse of 10
milliseconds, at 37.5 kHz and at one-second intervals. The present ICAO
requirement is for ULBs (“pingers”) to transmit for at least 30 days. They have a
nominal audible range of 2 to 5 km, depending on parameters such as depth,
water temperature and sea conditions.

Ahahahahahaha.
Here’s another one:

oh great....they’ve detected one of our Subs.......
Squirrel!
They were hanging over the side with flashlights and scoop nets trying to catch it

3.7.3 Pong message
Command: PONG
Parameters: [ ]
PONG message is a reply to ping message. If parameter is
given, this message MUST be forwarded to given target. The
parameter is the name of the entity who has responded to PING message
and generated this message.
Numeric Replies:
ERR_NOORIGIN ERR_NOSUCHSERVER
Example:
PONG csd.bu.edu tolsun.oulu.fi ; PONG message from csd.bu.edu to
tolsun.oulu.fi
“hits the surface of the ocean has to make a detectable and pinpointable noise.”
Excuse me, but what does that have to do with anything? How does that help?
Enough with the regular pings....
This is probably what they were hearing.
