Your original post is correct. Somebody already said it, you do not have emergency overflow (that would require 3 pipes in your box), what you have is primary and secondary. Primary should be full siphon and secondary should be barely/slow overflow.

This way it should be absolutely silent.

Perfect I’ll make sure to do that!

This is how I have it now and it’s actually quiet just hear a very faint flow in the back but I’m 99% sure having the other as a drain was quieter

Close the valve slowly until its just a trickle the the emergency. Hopefully, you don't get the vortex.

You can take the pipe out of the main drain all together. The height of the secondary drain determines the water level in the overflow box. You don’t want the water level in outside overflow too much lower than the water inside the tank, otherwise you hear the water falling into outside box. No more than an inch

Got it. It’s completely silent now. I hear nothing
