Question about my sister's rock tumbling hobby in the garage

The noise is driving me crazy, but she loves showing off the polished stones. How do you balance family peace with geology passions?

My friend's brother used to restore old motorcycle engines in their shed. The whole house would shake, it was brutal. They finally made a deal for specific "loud hours" on weekend afternoons. He got his fix, and they got guaranteed quiet the rest of the time. Maybe a set schedule like that could work? She gets to tumble her rocks, you get some peace, and you can still check out the cool results after.

Loud hours worked for my neighbor's drum practice too.

My old roommate had a pottery wheel in the garage. We set up a strict 2-4pm window on Saturdays for the noise. It saved our sanity and the friendship, honestly.
