Internal Overflow Help

I just installed an internal over flow box with a 1 inch drain in the back of my tank it is hard plumbed. It's rated at 700 gph. I have a 607 gph return pump soft plumbed with vinyl. It is very noisy. Any tips? It does not seem to be creating a full siphon. Is my pump just not strong enough? Or is there something else I could do? Thanks! It's a 55 gallon tank.

Which part is noisy?

Pic one looks like the pipe slopes upward a bit after the 90, if so that can make an air pocket.
