Yes, I also agree. However, wouldn't the low return chamber water level simply be the result of not enough water in the system? I think he needs to add more SW. (and raise that skimmer....you can see a massive amount of free airbubbles in the skimmer chamber of the sump)

Maybe you can try to cut down the last baffle leading to your return chamber to increase the water level. That should cut down on the noise and air in the tank.
