How much water? "A little" is not a precise number, and there's no way to tell exactly how much needs to be pushed out. Or let in. If you over-correct the boat is now rising, and you have to let water in. How much water? It quickly can become a game of pumping water out, letting water in, pumping water out... Yes, it's noisy.

Also the boat might be sinking not because of too much water but because the water aboard is not stabilized, i.e. it is sinking by the bow or the stern. This requires transferring water from the bow to the stern, or vice versa. The point is that nothing is precise, and the absolute best way to maintain proper trim is to be moving and use the dive planes.
