So I have one these on a 30 gallon mud turtle tank but I have the water level lowered some to make some dry land for the turtle to bask on and dry up. Is there a way to make the water drip down into the tank silently or at least with less noise?

....or get one of those "turtle tanks" with a cut out in one of the panels so the filter can be positioned lower.

I second the flat rock idea. Prop it up so that the water gently pours onto the rock at an angle, and then runs down silently into the water.

Or get a turtle tank. That works too.

Actually a trick I have always used to silence any falling water is to use a strip of material. Something 100% polyester is the best so it doesn't degrade. For your application, the look of the strip hanging into the tank might be a deal breaker though.

But if you cut a strip the width of the filter flow and secured the end of it under the top stack of media, the water stream will adhere to the material making it totally silent.
