Are you using a standpipe? If its the all-glass one or none, google "durso standpipe", that will quiet it. How many GPH are you running?
Also make sure that there are no dips or curls in the drain line going into the sump, it needs to be all downward from start to finish. Otherwise water will back up and cause a siphon, which will make it sound like a flushing toilet.

Also keep in mind that your overflows are probably on rated for 600 a pop. If your running anything more than say a mag 7 per overflow, there is simply too much water trying to fit down the pipes. If this is the issue, turn off one of the pumps, or simply attach a valve on the outlet of your pump and cut the flow back until it quiets down drain noise. You really don't need a ton of water flowing through your sump anyways.
