I'm watching this thread too.

My SW tank doesn't let me sleep... 24h flushing noise. I've been searching for solutions and I think I'll try the external durso since my tank is already drilled and has a bulkhead already siliconed.

use Google search!!! there are so many threads on stopping overflow noise.

The best is a 3 hole method often termed 'herbie fail safe', the next best is durso or stockman (about equal on noise reduction IME. they will need tuning to keep silent).

In the drawing it looks like you have a DIY U-tube style overflow. You can put a durso or stockman on that.
