What seems the issue, (and please be patient as this tank set up is very foreign to me), is the overflow just gushes down to the sump? so whatever water level i add to the tank gravity takes over and the water flows heavily down to the sump... And thats the noise I am hearing..

The pump itself is virtually silent, and when i put my hands in front of the heads (4 of them), the water pressure is pretty good and even..

I do like the idea of the ball valve!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats a great idea....... It will control the amount of water flowing from the overflow portion of the tank...

Is there standpipes installed in the overflow? (Durso standpipes?)

You can control water level in the tank and flow to the sump by adjusting the standpipe up or down.
