It's actually a sub term. Basically what it means in the game is you're moving to fast and making a lot of extra noise, which will attract bad things to attack the sub. From what I've seen, pretty much constantly, until you're running ragged putting out fires.

The slower you go, the less you cavitate, so you're quieter, and attract less attention. Apparently the creatures in subnautica are old people who want you kids to stay the hell off their lawn.
