You may want to do a quick google search on the durso standpipe, stockman standpipe or hoffer gurgle buster. Basically fancy plumbing on the intake the reduce the noise.
My personal preference, is if there are 2 holes/bulkheads, put a simple stand pipe in one (emergency overflow) then add a ball valve to the second, reducing the flow so that the water level stays steady (and completely covering) the drain - no noise at all.

Just one hole and it's in the side. The pressure line comes over the top to give syphon break. I'll check the links and the suggestions though. Thanks

Aqua silencer is a great thing. I have built something similar with a standing piece of pipe with abou six hundred hand drilled holes
 and a piece of 3/8 tube above it to allow air in. You can hear the air rushing in but it is exponentially better. The only worry I have and have almost encountered is the blockage of the drain holes causing an unnerving rise in water level. Thanks again.
