Well untill the pre filter breaks in you can wait for that or put a 12" peice of air line down the hole and attach the other end with a rubber band or something that will keep it from dropping down the drain tube.

Sorry, What prefilter? right now..its just draining down. Where can i get the prefilter, is that suppose to stop the noise?

The air tube will let more air into the drain and stop the noise.

The pre filter is the sponge that goes around the drain tube.

OK then I must do a pass on this and he has the internal over flow. I think he needs a durso pipe but will let the others here reply on this one.

Does your pipe look something like this?
