I am using a simple method and it really works.

Step 1, remove the pvc pipes that came with the box and use real pvc instead without the little plastic tube.

Step 2, on one side just make the pvc about the same measurements as the eshopps pvc pipe, about 4 inches.

On the other side, make the pipe higher about 6 inches.

Step 3, now on the smaller one add a ball valve to that drain and cut it back just a little.

I found the key was to not let water flow into the tall pipe but let it trickle in.

The water level is consistently stable and no more noise.

I think the pvc pipes that are included with the eshopps are worthless.

In my pic, it shows a little more water going in the tall pipe, so I left it making a little more noise, but it's still very quite. If I wanted to, I could lower it a hair and it would be dead silent. I get nervous when it's too quite lol.
