You can check this page for some ideas, Not sure what type of overflow you have setup. Do you have a photo of it?

I don't know what the exact disign of this is, but you might want to take in mind a Durso Standpipe. Noisy overflows can be quite a pain, and durso would quite this up to only the lightest sound of water trickling :)

I have an Oceanic overflow and it works great. You can hear the noise of the water dumping over the edge of the overflow but it is not extremely loud. They make replacement foam filters to place over the standpipe.
