Since beginning tumbling I have used the hard drainpipe type of barrell and my kithen has resounded to the sound of rock on rock on plastic for what seems forever. Now I like the noise, in fact the house seems empty when it is turned off while I check the stones. However the other half, the one who must be obeyed(!) has always hated the constant rumble and clatter, so I eventually gor hold of a rubber barrel,....................I ahve to keep checking it every 5 minutes to see if it is still running, it is soooooooo quiet, I can't believe it is actually grinding the stones. BUT my wife loves me again, she can hear converstaions at normal levels again, she can hear the t.v. in the other room again, I can hear her nagging again!!! A lot quieter, easier to load/empty (only one end opens), and looks like they will last longer ( on the ends) than tyhe caps on the drainpipes. So thats me converted to rubber, if you need to restore the noise level in your house then give it a try. Oh can't remeber where i read it but seem to recall someone saying that a particular rock when handled left a deposit on moist skin that if licked (accidentally) had a laxative effect, anyone know which if any rock it is?
