quiet down my sump and overflow

[Kurt03]

Anyone have some hints to make the water flowing into my sump quieter? I just have the water falling straight into my sump with a pvc tube and its about 1.5in below the water line. Also i was trying to find out some ways to quiet down my overflow. Here is the hang on overflow that i have. http://us.st11.yimg.com/store1.yimg.com/I/yhst-66907246933688_1887_5594089
I would make a standpipe for it but it would make the waterline to high in the overflow box and it would flood over. Im still messing with everything since this is a new setup and im trying to quite it down.

take that old pipe out and put a stockman standpipe in it, get rid of that sponge thing

it seems like the pipe and bulkhead are glued in. Maybe the pipe is just glued to the bulkhead. Will i still be able to get the bulkhead out you think? or could they have glued this in also. Bulkheads just screw in right? I will most likely add the stockman tomorrow if i get some time. Anyone have any idea of making the water going into the sump quieter, or pics of how your water enters your sumps?
Thanks again ste6168

--edit--
Forgot to ask, do you think i will get more flow with the stockman standpipe instead of the plain pipe that is in it now?

anyone have any hints on quieting the tube that enters your sump?
