Here is a standpipe that really helped to quiet mine down.

Are you talking about the piping from the tank to the sump of the piping from the sump to the tank? I'm guessing it's from tank to sump as I've never heard a tank that has gurgling noise from the sump to tank plumbing...

Adding a durso would help with the overflow... If you don't have room a stockman works almost as good...

slowing flow can help a lot, and often times folks put too much flow through the sump to be effective in any case. what pumps do you have on these tanks?

I put ball valves right before the lines enter my sump and then turned them a little bit until less air flowed thru them, this will require minor monitoring to make sure your pump doesn’t overpower the returns. I forgot to mention I have Durso's on top. This method has made my tank so quiet the cooling fans and skimmer pump are louder that the circulating water, works for me…
