style and fashion womens jewelry and watchesHow do you quiet a ticking wall clock?
Cut pieces of egg crate foam to fit inside the clock body. Make sure the pieces fill in the body space but do not interfere with the gears and moving parts of the clock. Replace the back panel of the clock and put it back on the wall or shelf. The ticking should be gone or, at the very least, quieter.
Similarly, can you make a ticking clock silent?
The easiest way to quiet a loud ticking clock once and for all is to add mass, such as a piece of quilting, over the ticking mechanism on the back of the clock. Failing this, you can also oil the mechanism, but this will need repeating every few weeks to keep the clock quiet.
In this way, why does my watch tick so loud?
The sound of ticking in watches is found in mechanical watches, wind up and so forth. it is the sound of the pallet fork hitting the escapement wheel. Most swatch watches do have the distintive 'tick' sound even tho they are (majority) quartz. i believe this 'tick' is cause by two cogs rubbing together.
Modern, electric clocks work differently. They use small motors to advance the hands each second. When the motor moves the hand, you hear the gears moving against each other, then a fainter sound as they rel Hence, the 'tick' sound is when the pendulum swings one way and the 'tock' is when it swings back.
