harmonize

Make sounds agree

Harmonize means to bring into agreement or make compatible.

Musical voices harmonize when they blend pleasingly, each singing different notes that work together.

Beyond music, people harmonize conflicting opinions, regulations harmonize across jurisdictions, and colors harmonize in a design.

We need to harmonize our schedules.

The underlying idea is creating unity from diversity.
