Mariner 100 noisy

Is it the gulping in th sump/overflow, the weirs splashing, or the air sucking through the emergency drain tube?
 
I'll be honest idk what I'm looking at pipes wise but it sounds like it's the water falling into the box. Can you run the water level higher in the box?
Unfortunately the weirs aren't adjustable. This is a modified Bean Animal style overflow I believe unless it's just a Durso with an emergency drain pipe added.
 
Yeah, looks like a Durso with an emergency drain.

I put the airline tube in the hole in the top of the Durso drain. I'm not home or I'd look at the ball valve underneath but I closed it partially. Too much and you get a different noise, not enough and it gurgles and gulps.
 
Can you run the return pump to pump more water. The overflow is draining water way too fast. even the main siphon line has air going in it. Alternative is don;t touch the return pump, slowly close the gate valve to reduce the rate with with water drains out and let the water level in the weir rise slowly. Adjust very slowly until sounds stops
