An acoustic height sensor, particularly adapted for use in the foil-borne mode of operation of a hydrofoil, wherein sensitivity to noise pulses is materially reduced or essentially eliminated by monitoring for noise levels capable of producing interference and, if the noise persists for a sufficiently long period, suspending processing of any signal returns until the noise ceases. In the meantime, and as processing of signal returns is suspended, sample and hold circuitry maintains the output of the system at its previous level until the noise abates.
