 Check valve in sump pump

Mom has a check valve in her sump pump that bounces after the pump shuts off. I replaced the valve and it did not help. I drilled a small hole in pipe below the check valve, no help. Do you think it could be water bouncing back against the valve> Would raising the check valve in the line Help? Any idea's will be appreciated
Tom

 Check valve in sump pump

Thanks EW for answering that question of Franks so masterferly Laughing out loud. I eliminated the check valve, lowered the sump pump (it was on house bricks) this allows the extra water from the pipe to be able to come back into the pit and not fill up more than before. In short, yes, it was water bouncing back into the flapper/ball on the chewck valve causing the noise.
Thanks. (PS. I stopped overe there after work today so this is the first time I could respond) Thank for the answers anyways ya all!!!!
EW. You got a TAN????
