Pics please? I made a Stockman for my 90 & it is completely silent. Let's figure it out. ;-)

Only possible issues is the siphon break is not large enough (drill another hole in the cap) or the opening in the main pipe is not large enough (enlarge the hole) from the description I would drill another 3/8" hole in the cap first and see what that does.

Try using a clear vinyl tubing that is only 2-3 inches long total. Put less than 1/2" inside the standpipe (well above the water flowing into the standpipe) and the other 1.5" to 2.5" poking up out of the cap. I think your air hose is submerged & therefore being negated. Try that and let us know. ;-)
