I guess it is cavitation, but I want to confirm
I haven't seen it in the manual

Cavitate. It's the point where the pressure around a spinning prop lowers to the point that the water 'boils' around it. This increases ambient noise significantly. Keep your ships out of CAV if you're hunting subs (or are a hunted sub). Depth can alleviate the speed of cavitation in some cases.

Will it also degrade your sensors?

Speed in general degrades sonar performance (lots of self noise going on).
