Hi guys (its me again....)
The forum has been very helpful in my journey
Been going through many discussions on how to reduce noise of a durso set up. I was able to completely silence the overflow weir , however experiencing a very loud drain line in the sump. I am aware that using the durso setup I wont be able to get it completely quite , but hopefully I can get it down to some extent as otherwise the Mrs isn't going to be very happy. ( Or do we just have to get used to it ) Here's a quick video showing the noise coming out looking forward ideas. Pretty sure the video seems to be louder than it actually is , but it is quite loud.


 
Durso lines are noisy...and many places the noise can be coming from in the drain line. One thing...horizontal runs on a drain line are a big no-no since they can trap air in the lines and cause noise. You could try taking out the horizontal section and using 45 degree turns instead and see how it goes.

I don't have a durso system, so I'm not sure all those bubbles exiting the drain line in the sump are normal. I have a herbie design...If I see bubbles or even hear any noise, there's big trouble in my line.

Another options...convert to to a Herbie design...it's really easy!
 
I have a 1 standpipe drain that was very noisy. What I did was a reverse durso in the sump which helped tremendously. I believe I watched YouTube videos to learn how to make it. Also I made a hoffer gurgle buster (also on youtube) although I do not need that now. My drain is down to a slight trickle noise which is comparable to a water feature is n the house. It's actually kind of pleasant.
