You need to get your tank water elevated which will quiet it down. It is likely the pump is moving water to tank faster than water is coming in. Slow the pump flow slightly and the water in tank will rise and noise level will be reduced

If durso, you need a drain pipe yes and it should be capped with a hole on top with tubing so it is muffled but also serves as a siphon break in the event of power loss.
