wet/dry overflow noise?

[roggy23]

ok im wondering when i get my sump setup to my established tank,
how loud is the overflow box gonna be- you know the setup where the overflow box is hanging in the tank connected to a siphon and to a prefilter box.
would you say it would be just as loud as having a HOB skimmer or louder?

There will be a slurping sound. And if you focus too much on it, it could annoy you. But you can look at it as a waterfall to enhance tranquility! I'd say it will be louder then the HOB skimmer, the higher the water has to travel to your wet/dry, the louder it will be. :happyfish
