Good question! Do you know what style of drain that you have in the overflow (e.g., durso, herbie, bean animal, etc.)? Additionally, can you describe the noise or possibly post a video? Can you tell if the noise is coming from the top of the overflow or where it exits into the sump?

I have put a PVC cap and after drill a 2 mm hole, and Silence no more annoying drain sound

Hey!

Thank you soo much for your reply, i am fairly new to the industry so i am unaware of what style tubing i have.

I do know i have a single eShoppes HOB over flow box, and the noise that is what i am trying to silence is a gurgling sound from the drain.

Thanks again!

Are you using the filter pads on the pipes?

@Bryson.bobby may have solved your issue. Although these may not apply to your situation as much, for general information here is a link to introduce you to some of the different types of overflow drain configurations. Good luck!

Yes I do have the filter on the pipe.

Just finished printing this silencer.

Going to set it up and see how it works.

Would this be a durso style?

Thanks!

Sure! I used the MaekrBot Replicator.

Wow very nice sadly out of my price range lol. I have been looking for a printer but can't find a good one at a cheap price. How long have you been 3d printing?

If you still have those long foam pieces that go in it, you can shove that down until it stops gurgling

Thank you!

You can find a great inexpensive one on Amazon. Only thing is some printers do take a while to print out items depending on what size you are printing.

I bought it for work, and really only have used it a handful of times. Very simple to print stuff once you get used to the software. Only hard part is making parts for your own, or you can find files online to just print.
