I think it is mostly a splashing/falling water sound with a touch of a gurgle/slurping sound.

I was thinking that maybe stuffing something in the box might help. I'll try that.

The water level adjuster basically raises the height of the bulkhead overflow, thus raising the operating level of the water in the aquarium, thus causing a big flood when the system starts back up again if the water level adjuster is pulled up. It seems to add around a gallon of water to the aquarium when it is priming itself. This wouldn't be an issue in a bigger tank, but in my little 10 gallon it can result in a big mess.
The link you provided is one of the ones I was looking at, and it is the one I was most leaning towards attempting. I guess the best way to figure out if it will work is to go ahead and try it?
