I think people are refering to two different things.
First, there is a dive siren on the early war Stukas (up to Ju-87D3). This was added simply for propoganda purposes and to instill fear into the enemies. In game it is activated by deploying the dive brakes.
The 2nd dive sound is the one made by prop engined aircraft in a dive when they are overspeed. The DiveSounds 2.2 mod simulates this in game. If an aircraft goes overspeed it may happen and this is more likely at higher altitudes (higher to fall from, more time to accelerate). Hence in game you usually don't hear them til you have fallen a few thousand metres.
