If so, is there anything we can do to make it run quieter?

Is the water falling into the sump or into the water in the sump? I mean does it enter the sump below water level? You try and put some sort of diffusion under where the water enters the pump? With my big tank i had 4 drains and stacked a bunch of base rock under them so they hit it instead of splashing. Extended the pipe below to just below the waters surface. Course i had an auto top-off, so you would need to keep levels constant from evap. I guess I should have asked is the sound coming from the overflow or the sump
