Some of the tried and tested methods are Durso Stand Pipe, Hofer Gurgle Buster, Herbie Standpipe. Do a search here, or on google.

really easy cheap fix that works is to cut a length of flexible airline tubing and feed one end down into the overflow and leave the other out and free in the air.
This will greatly increase the airflow and mitigate a lot of the gurgling.
try it and see.

What does your overflow look like right now? Just a bulkhead? Overflow box? and stand pipes? etc.

HA.
well then scratch what I said.

How many drain holes do you have? 1 or 2? If 1, build a Durso or Stockman standpipe. If 2, use a Herbie system.
