The water outlet from the skimmer is on the base of the skimmer, pointing down toward the floor of the sump. The outlet is a few mm above the floor of the sump. The narrow space between the skimmer outlet and the floor of the sump creates a restriction to outflow.
I just put the skimmer into a bucket of tank water. It is quieter now after running for a few hours, it used to be quiet but now it is almost silent. A benefit of the outflow being on the bottom of the skimmer it that there are no microbubbles at all. There will be no need for a bubble trap/baffles in the sump.
