I would assume that the frequencies being used have been carefully chosen for the desired application, and are probably therefore the best for the usage intended. It is unlikely that Navy brass would accept any changes that would degrade the performance of their systems.

The factors involved are both the range of frequencies being used, and the intensity of the sound. You have to make a really, really loud noise in many cases to make sonar do what you want.
