do a search for dorso stand pipes on here and either submerge the water exit in the sump or place some filter floss just below where the pipe empties into the sump.

I concur. If something is making unwanted noise in my tank its usually water flow thats splashing. I would just submerge the pipe or lean it up against a side so it flows in, instead of splashing around. If its a pump just rattling put a towel under it and it will absorb the vibrations.

yeah, i hate the sound of running water as well. Very annoying. I get used to it and never even notice it but when all the pumps and what not are shut off, its about 20 Decibles quieter lol.
