    If you have over flow tubes.. Take a piece of air tubing like the 1/4 inch kind and stuff it in the over flow tube and find the sweet spot to make it stop the Sucking bath tubb noise. Once you found the sweet spot tape or find someway to hold the tube in place..


    I hope this helps...


    Best of luck...

    This is a way to quiet down some overflows, I don't know if it will work in your case, will need more info about your exact setup to be more help. Pics always help too.

    Do you have a standpipe? If not thats your problem. There are lots of DIY articles on standpipe building and they are simple and cheap to build with a couple $$ worth of PVC, thats it.
    I prefer the Stockman design myself found here:
