Well after redoing the plumbing in flex, adding some more baffles, rearranging the sump and changing the drain standpipe (all of which has been a PITA) my tank still sounds like crap!
Now I turn on the skimmer and it whistles. What am I doing so wrong here?

i know you don't want to hear it, but in one of dr rons books he states get ready for noise. with the amount of water flow sumps are noisy and could drown out the stero or tv

It is quite possible to design a tank to be quiet. It can take some work and sometimes money though.

We had REALLY loud noise when we first fired it up, but Bob made some adjustments to the standpipes and it really made a LOT of difference. Also, the guy I bought the used tank from. I have never in my life heard anything so quiet. He has a 180g tank, and hasn't finished his stand yet, so it's still wide open underneath, and I didn't even hear any flushing noise. So, they really don't have to be noisy at all. One of the reasons I want to get the plumbing done the right way the first time with the tank I'm setting up now.

Bob, it's definitely a cuke.

How come you have a ball valve in that picture coming from the skimmer section T'ing into the return line? Doesn't the water overflow into the return section? I'm sure there's a reason....I just don't understand plumbing at all, so I just want to know why.

Maybe instead of having the tubing running straight down into the tank, you can make it more of a horizontal run and then just have the last little bit going straight down into the tank. Maybe that would quiet it down since you seem to feel that's where most of the noise is coming from.
