Mine is horrifically loud. Mine is due to a frankly rubbish return design that yours doesn’t seem to have. That said d the best thing I found was a silencer bought off of eBay for £4. Looks like a corkscrew and slows the return flow.

What type of drain do you have?

As said above make sure they are exiting under water.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
