Sump Sock Silencers- Still hear the water

That's what Ivan said, but the water goes into a small section first (I'm not sure what you would call that), then up and over into the socks. I don't see how that would help the noise. I'm hearing the drips through the silencer. Not the water pouring over them. I may be able to raise the water level just a tad in the sump. Not sure yet need to get the skimmer in there.
Reducing the turnover is not an option haha well it is but not doing that.

I jerryrigged a filter floss tray into my filter sock holder out of egg crate and run the sock silencers in place. My next sump will be built with one. I noticed the filter sock section of your sump is closed off, so that may not be feasible or even desirable. I mean, I'm sure you can always erect something inside the filter sock section where you place the filter floss on top to reduce noise, if it really bugs you.
So it's not the water entering sump, it's the water flowing into sock. When I think noisy sump I think water coming out of drain from overflow. Instead of putting filter media in socks. How about across the top like a covering that would buffer the sound? Something like this 7" wide to just sit on top? Hope link works.

Yeah. It redirects a couple of times. I have computer skills like an 80 year old man. Anyway it's just a block of black filter material. Try this link. If you see it. You'll know what I mean. Just get a size to cover your socks to deaden the sound.
