Did an enemy MPA fly over you in the overworld map right before the encounter?

What difficulty do you play at?

Do you use the "Close to" option? If so, how how close do you go? Closing to 10kyd is probably not the smartest idea to do especially in the vanilla game in the 1984 campaign.

Historical inaccuracies also exacerbate this issue. Udaloy, Sovremenny, and Kirov all have USET-80s, which were only used on submarines historically. It doesn't help Kilo-class submarines have SS-N-16s, which also didn't carry them in their tubes in real life. Combine that with the Udaloy's very powerful sonar, and you're gonna have a bad time.

Enemies have a tendency to be trigger happy about actively pinging you in the vanilla game if you're close enough. This behavior is much more unlikely in Epic Mod and DotMod.
