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.
