Yeah, that too.

Is it 15 feet continuous horizontal or does it make some down steps along the way?

How many gph going through the lines?

The noise is surely from air in the pipes. If you don't have enough flow for 1.5" pipes that could be contributing. There has to be enough velocity to keep the air flushed out.

I have ball valves close to the tank and at the sump. Maybe should swap to hate valve for better control.

The horizontal runs were done with a gentle downslope with roughly 2-2500gph.
