It would just make it easier to match the amount of water draining from your tank and the return that way. You want them to be close to equal as possible. If you have a small drain compared to the amount of water returning to your tank your tank will eventually overflow and cause a flood. On the other hand if you have a larger drain compared to your return it would just stop as soon as it goes below your overflow line and resume once it starts filling up again, but then the noise issue comes into play here but that is easier to deal with than causing a flood on your floor. I don't know if that made sense but hopefully it did.
