Probably a bit late response, as I can imagine you prob dont even use that system no more.

Throw in a sponge, and it will reduce the waterflow as it enters the resorvoir.

@UNGOLDLYBANANA Thanks for the suggestion. Good idea! But as you expected, this system doesn't even exist anymore, all parts have been sold a long time ago :-)

why not fill it up a bit more. no space for the water to slosh around = no noise

@anthony360 Thanks for the help, but I have found another easy, effective solution: unscrewing the taller of the 2 tubes. This way, water doesn't come back into the reservoir high enough to make waves. See the follow-up video: /watch?v=OtxK-8zPy8U

Water flow too high.
