The tank is pretty quiet with only a little splashing noise were the water falls into the overflows. Unfortunately due to the design of the tank (got it used but cheap) the water has to fall about 4" to enter my Durso standpipe. The wife wasn't complaining so it can't be that bad!

Now just have to drain the tank and fill it with RO/DI.

Why dont you just raise the durso up 3" or so to dampen that noise? Now is the time to do it and you'll thank yourself later. PVC glue cures in like 15 mins on a 2" fitting so you can easily do it while RODI is being filtered.
