Now I'm wondering if times I couldn't sleep because of a ticking clock were due to arrhythmia in the clock - low batteries, extreme temperatures, dirt, spider mite sitting on pinion - that somehow prevented my brain from filtering out the sound.
Probably more likely a lack of sync in my brain (I have very little sense of rhythm).
- alias_neo 5y agoInteresting point. I have a fairly loud ticking wall clock in my living room. When I have guests stay on the sofa I have to remove the battery, it drives them insane. I never notice it ticking at all, I just don't hear it, it's ticking right now because I'm thinking about it. What I would love is a clock with a consistent sound, mine makes a slightly different tick for some odd positions and that bugs me.

- alias_neo 5y agoI'm not sure if that sounds amazing is terrifying!
- nsayer 5y agoGenerally the movements come with a rubber gasket that you're supposed to put over the shaft before attaching it to the back of the face. The rubber cuts down on the ticking noise. Of course, if you buy a Crazy Clock that has novelty firmware, you probably _want_ to hear it.
